Скандальные желания

The tension between the characters was palpable, but I wonder if that’s what made the eventual romance feel so earned. Did anyone else find the transition convincing?

The setting really came alive, with all the social nuances and atmosphere. I’m curious whether the author did a lot of research or if the city just naturally shaped the story.

Some chapters moved quickly, while others slowed down noticeably. I’m wondering if that was planned to keep us guessing or just a natural part of the story's flow.
