I mostly enjoyed this read. I think I might have found it even better if it had no hype attached and I went in with no expectations. I didn't laugh as much as I thought I would, and I found the ending to be a little... lackluster. But this is absolutely a fantastic book. There were some funny moments, and although most things were done for strange reasons (why wouldn't she have been approached like a normal person about what was going to happen to her, instead of being kidnapped and then told she could have no contact with her family?) and the badie was a bit of a letdown given we never even have any interaction with him at all. The ending (while I did love certain things about it) was also strange that after *spoilers* he woke up, he still waited three months to get in contact with her. Why not call when he first awoke, say he was alive but that he needed to work on some things and as soon as he was well enough, he'd see her? And why does everyone use the term Babe though out? I found that made all of them sound the same when they'd all use it. I don't know, it's me nitpicking. I guess I hoped Lily would have more to do (what was with the knife being pointed out so much if she wasn't going to get the chance to use it?). I did love her and Nox together. I loved that it wasn't instant love and I love how much spunk she had at the beginning of the book. I thought it was sweet when they would spoon together and that part to me felt honest and romantic.Overall, if you enjoy Belle's previous work, if you are looking for a sweet love story with some steam and funny bits, and a couple that don't just jump into love, then I'd recommend this book for you.
