Good book, if somewhat awkward at times.
Welp. The ending was traumatizing. But, I am now falling all over myself to hurry up and order
Book #2!
Book #2!
The main character has no flaws (other than being too generous and maybe a little dense), the plot is trite and completely predictable, and the romance is mostly stated as a fact rather than built.
