Reviews

[Crystalclearwpg · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was not a bad story and has some good ideas but I found the progress of the story a bit laggy. The first 50% of the story was just how many time the two main characters can do it. I like my smut but I didn’t have enough story line to round it out. At around 65% of the story we started to see more of the story line which I found interesting until the end. The build up for the main villain was anticlimactic. It ended way too fast for my liking and was quite disappointed of the outcome. I gave a 3 star for the potential of a story but I will never see the continuation to it because it is a time release on Kindle Vella which I don’t and can’t get.
I received an ARC of this tale and this is my unbiased opinion.
