I will preface by saying this is not my normal genre of choice; I typically gravitate to dark romances with morally grey MMCs and at least a little bit of violence. This is about as far from that as you can get.
That being said, this is a light, silly, fluffy story with an HEA and genuinely funny characters. The banter between Elle and Crew, Elle and her friends, and Elle and the Tweedles was so genuine and fun and witty that it made the book easier to invest in.
I'm going to talk about why I personally read romance books, and that's all for the spice/smut. And this book has that in SPADES. They do it in public, in private, in groups, in the tub, every surface in the penthouse. Crews has the FILTHIEST mouth and man, does it work.
I did think some of the story pacing was a bit off and the sudden mood shift from "he's really fun" to "I'm going to make his life miserable." was super abrupt and didn't really make sense for the character of Elle and consequently, that took me out of the story for a while. The ending also came off a bit rushed, for me.
Overall, a delightful little feel-good story, that's going to turn you on and make you laugh.

The ending made the book! The humour was relatable and fun and the spicy was so fun but I’m definitely a 1 on 1 spice reading girl! It was so sweet how they realised their feelings and came together. The middle was slow for me ngl but I did enjoy it overall!

This is a fun low stakes book. I liked the characters particularly the FMC and the banter and dialogue was too tier.
I have one minor ish complaint though, though it won’t stop me from recommending this book. This book felt like a bait and switch. There isn’t really an RH. We are introduced to Nate and TJ but they have no real development and there isn’t all the fun and drama associated with an RH HEA. it is a two person romance with a little RH chapter. Since I was expecting the RH to happen I found myself waiting for that to happen in the book, and wondering what would happen with the other guys and so that was a bit of a let down and distraction for me, the RH aspects could have been left out and the book would have had a better flow.
