The writing and editing was fairly clean in the ARC version of the manuscript, with only occasional typos. The world building was competent. The characterization was well done, with the heroine and heroes being complex individuals with strengths and weaknesses. The development of the romantic relationship was was very hot. Five chili peppers. The plot and pacing were tight and exciting, meaning I read this novel in one sitting. There was little angst and very high stakes in this novel, which tends to be one of my preferred narrative structures for a romance novel. This novel used the Brat trope common to BDSM romance. The world building, plot, and pacing were all four stars. The characterization and development of the romantic relationship was also four stars. The fact that this story is not a complete romance is two stars. It ended on a bit of a cliffhanger. I far prefer my romances to end with a Happy Ever After ending instead. I recommend this novel to fans of BDSM and m/f omegaverse romances. I look forward to reading the next book in this series, even though this one ended on a bit of a cliffhanger and that usually turns me off a series entirely. I plan to buy the omnibus of the complete romance if the author releases it in that format.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
