Kudos for the loc’d FMC 👏🏾🥰 always love to see that representation! This was a quick morsel with interesting stakes. I love the FMC having a different career path with her being a poker champion. Asha had Kingston spun after 1 night and as much a she tried to deny it, he also went out his way to step in and help her where her pride normally wouldn’t allow her to ask. Their chemistry was top tier and the spicy scenes reflected that. I do wish we had gotten an epilogue further into their future together. Overall this was a pleasant read, definitely not something I’m going to be thinking about for the rest of the week but it definitely kept me busy at work today lmao
