Honestly not bad! Cassie is a struggling student who takes up a nannying job to pay bills after quitting OnlyFans and getting let go from her last job. Aiden is a chef and father to Sophie who used to be Cassies biggest supporter online. I really enjoyed the dynamic between Sophie and Cassie, Cassie and Aiden, and Aiden and Sophie. I think it was pretty well balanced and felt very natural and funny. I think my problems came with the balance of dialogue/emotional connection to sex. They had so much sex and they were horrible communicators. Like every fights/the big climax would have been an easy solve if they would just have a conversation. It pissed me off so bad that they knew they sucked at communicating and NEVER worked ok it/addressed it. Also I usually never complain about smut (who would?) but, theres like one too many smut scenes here. Feels a tad unbalanced with the lack of communication.

While I liked the story, there was too much sex and it got embarrassing at times.

I really enjoyed this book in the beginning, the characters had awesome chemistry and the plot made me want to keep reading, but I felt like it was too long and the middle became a bit repetitive. While I enjoyed the ending, I felt like I had to force myself to finish it.

This book is a cute and spicy read with a hood plot line. The spice should be expected considering Cassie used to make money on OnlyFans to support her during grad school. I love that clips of the OnlyFans conversations are included between chapters! It really adds to the depth of the story. Cassie is a really cute and strong character. She’s (mostly) confident and even though she’s experienced neglect/trauma, she doesn’t dwell on it. Aiden is a great MMC who is also a chef?! Side note - how does he seriously make so much money as a chef???? His daughter is adorable and isn’t used as a prop in the story. She has her own personality besides being a cute child. Cassie and Aiden have excellent banter and great chemistry. Wanda is an amazing side character and I loved the glimpses of her story. Iris took away from the story and I know she was a source of conflict for the book, but she always had a really abrupt changes. It didn’t feel like she was as fully developed as other characters. The 4th act breakup was not my favorite and I felt the romance could’ve had a little bit more buildup. It happened rather quickly and I wanted a little more depth to the relationship first. Overall, I still loved the book and flew through reading it! 4⭐️, 3.5🌶

There are so many books that when I finish I wish were longer. I don’t even want more plot points just more of the characters and this book has that and I loved it! A unique story that doesn’t feel like something I’ve read before. And while somewhat predictable, I wasn’t fully able to guess what was going to happen. Wanda was a fabulous character! I absolutely fell in love with her and felt like she really rounded out the cast. Very sexy.
