I've read enough Eve Dangerfield books to notice a disturbing trend. When she is describing characters of colour, she goes “the black woman”, “the Latino man” etc... No other physical descriptors are used. But when describing white characters she mentions their hair colour, hair type, etc... In fact, their whiteness is never the focus. It's an interesting tactic from an author who so clearly wants to indicate a diverse environment. However, more often than not it reads as tokenism and diversity for diversity's sake rather than any real investment in creating a truly diverse cast of characters.

Otherwise, her books are mostly fun and engaging. The hero from this book was the cutest. After this, I want to read more romances with himbo MCs.
