Tessa Bailey did it again. I really enjoyed that this book was a modern-day setup just after the pandemic, that the characters were coming back from things and that they weren't super young, sometimes the early 20s romcoms give me the ick. Aiden is a golden retriever in the best ways and his "gentleman in the streets, freak in the sheets" was so good. Loved his dirty talk with Stella. Her reluctance felt warranted after what she went through and this was less grumpy/sunshine, more forbidden love/workplace romance than anything. I enjoyed this for exactly what it is, probably a 3/5 on the spice scale with detailed spicy scenes, but not overused.
If you’re looking for a quick, cute, smutty romance read for the holiday season: this is your girl. My biggest complaints are that the plot was relatively boring for most of the book and some of the smut was a *little* cringey, but Tessa Bailey always promises a good time.
