This was my first book by this author's work, and I must say, it was quite an intriguing listen. The audiobook featured two narrators, and while I really enjoyed the female narrator's performance, I found the male narrator less engaging. The book itself was well-paced, with some great spice scenes that kept me hooked. 

However, I did find myself struggling with the character of Claudia at times. I tend to prefer stronger female leads, and Claudia's moments of weakness detracted somewhat from my enjoyment. Additionally, some plot elements were a bit predictable. 

Despite these minor issues, I genuinely enjoyed the book and am eager to continue with the series. I'm planning to jump to the third book while I wait for the second to become available, and I hope that each book focuses on different characters so I can read them out of order.
However it was a fun and spicy read, and I'm looking forward to exploring more of Julia Sykes' work.
