Ah beans. Things were just getting hot and then they had to go and do my least favorite thing: explaining BDSM in a fantasy setting. God forbid people just DO THINGS with each other. When books do this, it feels more like they're justifying the fetish content to the reader and not exploring the relationship between characters genuinely. People don't talk like this. It's too clinical. I hate it.

This was a bit of a disappointment. I had such high hopes! But the polyamory really didn't earn its place in the plot. Ursula wasn't introduced until far too late, and the connection between her and the boys was tenuous at best. We didn't get enough of their relationships before they started flirting for me to feel anything but apathetic toward their connections.

This is not a problem unique to this book. It's like the romance scenes are from an entirely different novel, set in a different time with different language. So far this book has been in a regency era-like setting, but hearing one of the main characters call their love interest "Baby" like they're in a contemporary romance just takes me right out of the fiction. I cannot suspend my disbelief enough to reconcile this
