I've been seeing the series appear quite a bit. Still, I've never picked any of them up before because I never read anything from Sloane, and they aren't part of KU, so I'm a little picky over which books I spend money on. However, once Sweetgrass announced that she would be one of the authors, I finally took the plunge and picked up this book. It was so good, and honestly, I loved that there was an actual story underneath all of the steam. This book focuses on Greg and Cassidy, who end up having a relationship. It's on the taboo side because of the age gap and the fact that Cassidy is Preston's ex and Preston is Greg's son! So things were super messy and hard for Greg and Cass from the beginning, and although it had a ton of drama, I wish there was a little more. I think it would've been interesting to see Preston's mom appear. She and Greg separated when they were young, and Greg had a strained relationship with Preston. Still, it would've added a dramatic new level to the story. We got some chaos with the neighbor, but it fizzled out really fast. I got the rest of the series, so I can't wait to see what happens next and discover how these books are connected! I hope we still get to see Cass and Greg, though!

This was a fast fun time, I just wish there was a little more emotional depth shown between the characters, or even alternating POV's.

I don't think the storyline is well written. It's mostly just super horny smut. Which is nice, but it kinda never stops. And it's pretty unrealistic.
Like she and Greg literally kissed MINUTS after she broke up with Preston. And her mother is so fine with the relationship in the end like wtf my mom would not support that in any way.
But because they mentioned "Top Gun" i gave it an extra star.

Honestly, I enjoyed this story way more than I expected. Although the first few chapters made me cringe several times and I had to get adapted to the age difference, its importance faded within the following chapters. Some things were too foreseeable, but I really liked the ending and the scenes in a hospital made me realise how much I miss being an intern in a hospital. 
A+ for the steamy scenes in this book :‘)  I wonder if Cassidy would have developed those feelings if her dad had been around though (Daddy issues?).
