My husband and son have Dyslexia, so I appreciated how the author writes that people with this trait should be empowered and that they’re anything but stupid. I didn’t like the heroine’s constant negative self talk and how she constantly needed reassurance about her appearance. It was clear from reading that she wasn’t ugly, just not supermodel material. As for her terrible family, they didn’t deserve redeeming imho. ...more
**spoiler alert** This book disappointed me tremendously. I LOVED the Leopard King. I thought this book had so much potential at first.

Spoiler alert: . . . . . There was all of this anticipation and lead up to when the MC’s would finally hook up. Like, multiple scenes where Sheyla teases Alastor. But then they have a threesome with Ded that comes out of nowhere and is so random. Like, it doesn’t advance the plot at all and makes no sense with the character development. Then Sheyla immediately mounts Ded on the first encounter. But she made Alastor, her fricking mate wait!? WTH!? ...more
Meh. Fitzy didn’t have much of a spine. The romance was put on the back burner due to lots of other drama. Didn’t feel the connection between the MC’sMeh. Fitzy didn’t have much of a spine. The romance was put on the back burner due to lots of other drama. Didn’t feel the connection between the MC’s. I thought they were shallow and immature. I didn’t like the way Summer treated Hunter.

* How did the book make you feel?: I enjoyed this slow-burn romance. It had a lot of misunderstandings, but it was **spoiler alert** *** Book Q & A***
* How did the book make you feel?: I enjoyed this slow-burn romance. It had a lot of misunderstandings, but it was sweet. The characters were endearing.
* How do you feel about how the story was told?: I felt the author did the neurodivergent Harry justice. I got a bit impatient wanting the MC’s to see eye-to-eye.
* What did you think about the main characters?: I loved Thomas. I felt that he was a good person. I liked that he was self-deprecating. Harry was exasperating in her single-mindedness, but it made sense due to her being on the spectrum. The secondary characters were well-developed.
* Which parts of the book stood out to you?: It was interesting and tedious being inside Harry’s head. This was definitely a slow burn. I could’ve done without the big miscommunication at the ending.
* What themes/tropes did you detect in the story?: blue stocking, rake and whoremonger with innocent virgin h, character on the spectrum, slow burn
* What did you think about the ending?: I was happy it all worked out for them, but would’ve loved it if the book had reached the resolution more quickly. I liked the epilogue but wondered how Harry would do as a mother.
* What is your impression of the author?: This author is very talented. This is the first book I’ve read by Niven and I would read more.

I loved everything about this book! The H, Sebastian, reminded me a lot of Lord Ian McKenzie. I loved his character so much. I loved Jenny and her comI loved everything about this book! The H, Sebastian, reminded me a lot of Lord Ian McKenzie. I loved his character so much. I loved Jenny and her compassionate and pragmatic nature.
There was definite sizzle and then the angst, oh the angst! It was delicious…and then the grovel! Chef’s kiss!
This one is going on my reread and favorites lists!...more
