Il brivido della passione

The setting feels rich and immersive, but I wonder how much research went into the period details versus focusing on the emotional and physical intimacy.

The characters' interactions were intense and layered, but I couldn't tell if the author intended to critique or glamorize those dynamics.

Her backstory and desires added depth to the story, making me wonder whether Sylvia Day planned this complexity from the start or developed it during writing.
