2.5 rounded up to 3.

This. I’m not sure what happened with this book. It took me forever to read it because it was so boring. I wasn’t even invested in the steamy scenes to be honest. The whole Zuri is so innocent and naive wasn’t for me so I just may be an individual that doesn’t care for the “innocent” heroine. I wanted more background related to Ursa. I was excited to get a curvy Black lead, but her character development fell so flat and didn’t always make sense. I’m not sure how readers were supposed to see her as this hard ass and then all of sudden (literally in days) she’s getting mushy and begins professing her love. The pacing of it wasn’t right so I didn’t find it particularly believable. And honestly, I didn’t care for the three of them together. It felt like an awkward situation and the chemistry never worked out the way that I expected it to. Honestly, it felt a little too insta-love me. And the big build up about Zuri’s father was a mess. There was so much supposed tension between him and Ursa, but Zuri fixes it in a couple of paragraphs. I kept asking what was the purpose of all that build up if it was so easy to resolve. I’ll be continuing the final book, but this is probably going to go down as my least favorite in the series.
