I looked the story, I felt it dragged a little at the beginning. The FMC constantly internally battling her guilt when they had sex was annoying but over all I liked the characters and the story

As always the spice was spicing and office/workplace power dynamic sex work can never not be hit to me, and the grovel was fantastic. However, the whole beginning is kind of a slog because of Marlowe’s weird purity culturish outlook and pride? She simultaneously calls herself a ho, slut, hooker—pretty much every degrading name for a SWer you can think of—but refuses to use the money her friend, who is engaged to a billionaire and has been a SWer for years before and probably a millionaire in her own right at this point, offers to SAVE HER DAUGHTER’S life. And calls Athena’s money blood money/dirty but for some reason it’s neither of those things if she does it herself. She’ll do anything to save her daughter except swallow her pride apparently.
I get that the hidden undertones of Catholic guilt are kind of Elodie/Sara’s thing, but the books where the FMC takes power rather than shame from sex are always way more interesting, especially when the first book in the series already had soooo much Catholic guilt for the MMC. Looking forward to the next one because it seems like both characters might be a little more liberated.
