"I liked this more than I expected to! It takes a good author to take storylines I don’t normally like and make me like them."

"I enjoyed this book. Has by far the most erotic scenes in any book I’ve read lol. A shorter books but not any less good. There is good banter and wittiness between the characters. I do like the characters but there were times I felt a little annoyed by the male lead Ash. I understand his hardships, but sometimes his attitude was not justly. BUT even with all that I enjoyed the book!!! "

"This book reminds me of a mashup between “Beauty and the Beast” with “Phantom of the Opera” and mix in really great love scenes and you have a really great book. I didn’t want it to end !"

"I really enjoyed this book. It was a quick read with characters I grew to love and understand their personalities. There is clever and funny banter. It is pretty heavy on the spicy scenes but they have a purpose in the book and storyline. "
