Incredible chemistry, awesome pacing. The conflict was mostly internal, and it never felt too played out or like it dragged on for no reason.
This man had me blushing forreal

THESE ARE LIKE ALL SPOILERS SO CONSIDER YOURSELF WARNED Sexual Content: P in V sex, Oral, Masturbation, Phone Sex; Choking, Light D/s undertones, Praise Kink, Little bit of degradation too (ie. “my good little whore” type of stuff) Toxic Relationship: Multiple frequent mentions of how her ex Richard treated her, multiple run ins with Richard; This is the main conflict/storyline other than the romance Body shaming & Emotional abuse: Some details about things Richard has said to her in the past & her habits/trauma responses to those things in her new relationship; Additionally, Damien’s client Sharon selves into her situation with her now ex-husband Domestic Abuse, Injury/Injury Detail, Emotional Abuse: Damien’s client Sharon and her situation with her ex are brought up and discussed in depth once, then referenced several times throughout the novel though not in depth again Infidelity: It is implied that Richard was cheating on Abbie with the paralegal; Sharon mentions that her ex cheated on her; Abbie’s best friend Cam dated a man during college who turned out to be married with children Misogyny: Richard says several things/has a general attitude that I would describe as fairly misogynistic Violence: Both Damien and Abbie punch Richard in the face near the end of the novel; Richard grabs Abbie’s wrist prior to the punching & Abbie mentions that his grip is tight enough to hurt a little bit; It is mentioned that Sharon’s ex attacked her and left her in the hospital for some time

This was cute. I liked the relationship between Abbie and Damien, and their interactions. I liked that we get to read about them falling in love, and we’re not just told that they’re falling in love. This book loses half a star because Damien calls her “whore” in bed, which is supposed to be a turn on?? Gross. Also choking in bed. Then her awful ex Richard calls her a whore and gets punched, as he should. And there’s an epilogue behind a paywall of spam emails. I feel like I need to create junk account just so I can access these epilogues without receiving so much junk mail to my main account. 
Turns out there are other books before this in a series, and now I have to go find them. 

TW/CW: use of the word “whore” in bed; sexual asphyxiation (strangulation)
