I was wondering if we'd find out what was going on with Crulden and Dixon delivered.

I love the chemistry and the story of the slave and the Gladiator. The ML was a Cinnamon Roll, and a badass beast too~
And considering his memory loss and environment, it made the slight instalove totally understandable and believable (a rare trope for me to like!). 

The only gripes I have deal with the ending. Both the ML and FL are kinda passive because of their hostage situation, and I wish they could have been a bit more active in their escape/release, which was very diplomatic and done by people outside of themselves. It was probably more realistic, but as someone who hasn't really gotten into the IPB series, these random people showing up and saving the day was a bit anti-climactic. 

But still. I'm SO happy for them and their HEA :)
