My Rating: ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Reading Order: Interconnected standalones. You can read in any order, but this will make more sense after book 1 at the very least.
General Thoughts: I don't read nearly enough sapphic F/F books, so this was a wonderful treat. Likotsi is a character I've been interested in since she showed up in the other books, and I was curious to learn more about Fab (the woman who caught her eye.) I enjoyed this one. My only complaint was I wanted more of their story. I felt like it ended way too soon. Second chance and dual timeline can be hard to do well, but Alyssa Cole did a good job.
I read this out of order and read this one last, so I'm curious to read more about the author and to see what she does next. If you are wanting a sapphic read featuring strong Black women, this is a good one. I just wish it was longer.
Spice Meter: ❤️🔥.5 Not very prominent, but there were some spicy scenes.
