While I liked some things in this book (like Archer and Noah's relationship), it felt like I was dropped in the middle of a book. It kept referencing an off screen introduction between the two main characters that I assume was in a book in her previous series. As someone who hadn't read that series, I felt sort of lost and confused and felt I was missing a chunk of these characters. I'm a firm believer that a recommended reading order, especially with multiple series, should be just that. A recommendation. It shouldn't be mandatory to understand key parts of a story or relationship or else you should just make it one series!
I liked Archer in his previous appearances in this series, so I was really disappointed by his book.
