Jasmine Maas is admittedly one of my favourite authors and it’s exciting to say this book didn’t disappoint. Our FMC takes no quarter and our MMC cares for only two things - total domination and her. Tension tighter than a high gauge spring that fairly explodes once the spice hits. Now the painful wait for book 2!

I ate this book up!!! And the ending OMG not gonna lie, I didn’t see that coming 😍

Obsessed

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

I didn’t see that twist coming which is really hard to do when u are in the character head. Also I love how Alexander would do everything and anything to protect her even though she killed his dragon. Can’t wait for the next book and discover more about her status as a keeper.

The plot twist

This did not disappoint! The tension and hate between the enemies was amazing. Finished this book pretty quickly, couldn’t stop listening! The twists at the end were also exceptional. I’m dying for book 2 😭

INCREDIBLE ENEMIES TO LOVERS!!
