Oh
my god, why did I punish myself and read this author again? We are
obviously not suited as I find her flowery style very annoying.Apart from that, it's a decent read, at times hot and with an intriguing world-building.
There are two underlying conflicts, Nick and Hunter's past trauma which let them drift apart and Roxy's past abusive relationship. I found them interesting, and she was obviously suffering from PTSD considering her reactions.
What I found disappointing is the villain's inexplicable change of heart which tied nicely into the abrupt ending. Sorry, I could not buy it.
Otherwise, it's an okay read, but I'll be avoiding Calista Fox in the future. She is just not for me.

О боже, ну зачем я себя наказала, согласившись прорецензировать этого автора опять? Мы ж совсем друг другу не подходим, так как ее цветочные описания доводили меня до белого каления.
Помимо этого, чтиво это ну так себе, иногда горячее и с интересным построением мира.
Здесь два сюжетных конфликта: общая для мужчин травма, которая привела к охлаждению их дружбы и рукоприкладство в прошлых отношениях героини. Она очень очевидно страдает от панических атак и синдрома ПТСР.
Я нашла очень разочаровывающим неожиданные и необъяснимые перемены в характере злодея, которые удобно вписались в резкую концовку, а так... ну можно прочесть.
Вот я не буду этого автора больше брать в руки. Не для меня она. А вы решайте сами.
