Dealer's Choice (The Drift Book 10) by Susan Hayes

4 Stars

The writing and editing of this novel was clean, with no typos that I found in the ARC version of the manuscript. The world building was fairly vibrant, with the Drift really coming to life. The characterization was very well done, with these protagonists being complex individuals with strengths and weaknesses. The development of the romantic relationship was natural and organic. The plot and pacing was quick and exciting, with me turning the pages rapidly to find out what was going to happen next. There was a medium amount of well justified angst in this novel, and very high stakes, which I tend to prefer in my romance novels. This novel used the Friends to Lovers trope and the Partner in Trouble trope. The world building, plot, and pacing were all four stars. The characterization and development of the romantic relationship were also four stars. The combined rating for this book was therefore four stars. The novel ended on a Happy Ever After ending instead of a cliffhanger, so that was a big plus. I recommend this novel to readers who enjoy thoughtful, wholesome sci-fi menage romances. I will definitely read the next book in this series when it releases, and I will be buying myself a keeper copy of this novel.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
