The dynamic between these two characters is just too much fun for me. They contrast each other very nicely, with Lu being more talkative and social while Axton is a bit of a quiet grump. Axton also starts out “grumpy” but ends up more “golden retriever” by the end, which is a fun transition to watch.

The pacing is done very well, I feel like I know the characters before they have a real romance which makes the romantic moments more believable and heartwarming. I appreciate Lu’s voice, she has a sassy attitude but it doesn’t come off as mean or snarky. She’s very relatable for me.

As usual I just love the author’s writing style, she does a great job at solidifying her characters and making me care about them while also giving us romance and action. Just great stuff.
