Seduction of the Patriarch

So utterly sad about this. I really don't know what to say about this because the plot was so confusing to me. I don't know if it's because I didn't read the two middle books (which I wouldn't think because these are technically standalones?) or because I have Covid but god damn I was confused. I can't explain the plot but it was hot and packed full of action, that is why it gets my 3 stars. But sadly the plot and the lack of love I felt for these characters is why it isn't higher.

I loved the kinks and the Zoe Blake's writing as always. This is absolutely a me problem and I'm so incredibly sad about it.
