This book certainly wasn't perfect, but I found it enjoyable and will definitely be continuing the quartet. I think there could have been more time put into delving into the MMC's character and history rather than constantly telling us how beautiful he is and how perfect his face is - but, I also think this was an effort to show how Ravenna, the FMC, sees the world as a sculptress. Of course she's going to be drawn to angles and contours and symmetry, and so we're going to read about it. I would have liked to see a bit more of the slow burn, but to me, the romance didn't feel totally unearned either. He was your typical red flag of a dude who showed just enough, and chose her just enough, to convince you there was a green flag in there somewhere. And she was a quiet, but strong individual who was the only one who ever honestly challenged him. I didn't see the main twist coming, but I did catch the last twist right before it happened.
