Safety Rating: Safe with Exceptions (view spoiler)[ • No cheating – The Hero has been in a long-distance open relationship with his ex-pride member (she lives in Australia). At the beginning of the book, he's decided to break up with her permanently since it's obvious neither is willing to move to be with the other. Their relationship is open because they've allowed each other to sleep with other people when they experience touch hunger (shifters experience pain/withdrawal from lack of touch, including sexual touch). The Hero doesn't get with the Heroine until he's decided to end his relationship, but he doesn't tell his ex-pride member until after he's sleeping with the Heroine (which is to relieve touch-hunger). • Does have OM drama – Heroine dated Hero's best friend, and Hero is jealous of him • Does have OW drama – Hero's ex who he was in a long-distance relationship with causes lots of drama – An ex-fling who he slept with the relieve his touch-hunger in the past causes the Heroine jealousy in the beginning • Does have the MCs pushing each other away in the beginning • No separation (hide spoiler)]
