I am willing to forgive so much in a romance novel but apparently the thing that does it for me is the main character

I really enjoyed this, the delicate topics I thought were handled quite well and I believed the characters. I wish we’d had a little more with the other characters and their families but I really enjoyed it!

This entire series was amazing but THIS ONE is my absolute favorite. I love an extra spicy bad boy MMC and Cam certainly delivers. I go absolutely feral for a good “who hurt you?” moment, which this book definitely has, but Jordana is no shrinking violet and I adored how she really comes into her own. I will read literally anything by this author, forever.

🌶️🌶️ 🌶️🌶️

Tropes:

• Ex’s BFF 
• Forced proximity
• Emotional/Verbal/Financial abuse (w/ one scene of physical abuse)
• FwB/Sexual Tutor
• Reformed manwhore who falls first 
• “Melt your Kindle”
• No 3rd act breakup!

• Jordan (FMC) is engaged to the abusive psycho-douche canoe, Bryan, who is hooking up with her bestie/MOH. They get caught by Camden (MMC), his now former bestie/Best Man, who tells Jordan. 
• She moves in with him and he falls for her. 
• He’s a reformed trollop who is sensitive, emotionally intelligent, patient, and super supportive of Jordan. 
• She’s a former  doormat turned bad ass that has trouble opening up and asking for help but plans an EPIC revenge. 
• STOPLIGHT COLORS!! 🚦😈
• The very FIRST TIME I like degradation bc he paired it with praise. 
• The drive-in movie scene
• When he gets on his knees for her on the ice in front of the whole stadium
• First goal jersey 🥹
• The female friendships she found with the WAGS (Mickey, Raleigh, Birdie)
• His loving family ❤️
• The way she professionally and personally took him down at the end of the book

“This is still your blowjob, you are in control.”

This woman’s got an ass built for back shots but a face made for missionary.

“The things you crave go much deeper than you let on. And at the bottom, you want to be degraded and praised and used. It's as if you want to bring me to my knees—well guess what, Sunshine? You fucking do.”

This is my uterus so pissed off I haven’t put a baby in her womb room that it’s decided to rip out the insulation in all four walls and attic.

He wraps his palms behind my calves and squeezes. “Because I kneel for you.” A smile spreads across his face, and I swear I melt into a puddle. “You wanted people to see this side of me, so that’s what I’m doing. I’m leaving my ego at the door. You are my queen, and I will kneel for you every day. You aren’t a quiet girlfriend on the side, you’re center ice.”

She’d probably pick an ugly tree just so its feelings aren’t hurt. 

“My wife’s such an eager little cumslut, even for her own pussy . . . God, you’re perfect.” I kiss her lips, and she mewls against mine.

I know it’s early in the year but Hands down one of the best books of 2024! Jordan and Cam are two strong MC’s and perfect in their own ways. The whole story line brought me in and I couldn’t put it down. 
I’m so sad this series is over, but it went out with a bang.
