The book is called Rafes so it should primarily feature him and Myrna with few appearances from sub characters here and there but they essentially had to share their story with have the sub characters in this book.

I think she should have had her own novella or something because for it took away from the development of Rafes and Myrna’s story. Another gripe that I have is that I feel that Wilma’s story shouldn’t have been written into this book. I also don’t like how sub-characters were used to fill the reader in on (what I would consider) crucial development points in the main characters’ relationship. These POVs aren’t necessary to me and really distracted fro the main story. Or the few chapters from Damianos (which towards the end I started skipping) or one chapter from some random Butler. For example (this may be a small spoiler), she has a copy pasted chapter from Knud’s perspective that is highly unnecessary and could easily been written from Myrna’s POV. That was very annoying because in that why can’t the main characters (Rafes and Myrna) tell their own stories. More so, she uses these sub characters perspectives to fill us in on what’s happening in the main characters story. I find that to be absolutely maddening because having these chapters from other characters breaks up the flow of the story and makes it choppy to read. My primary problem with it is that half of the book is told from perspectives that aren’t the main OTP. With all that said I’m sorely disappointed in this book. I think it’s good that Theodora has a variety of works that can appeal to different types of people. Some of her books I absolutely love and some I just have a Luke warm reaction to them and others just aren’t that memorable.

I read almost all of the books in her contemporary series and all but two bits in her paranormal series.
