I really loved how the relationship progressed.... and that smut oh yes please, give me more of it.

I truly liked this trope more than I had anticipated. The characters were loveable and had great development. Beau as a side character, also had great development that I felt a side of pride over. Garrett calling Charlie ‘kiddo’ in his text sparked something that makes me so excited to read his book.

Your ex’s dad is hot and into submission. What’s a girl to do?

DID NOT FINISH

I dnf’d at page 104.

I was hooked from the very beginning—I couldn’t put it down! I didn’t think I’d enjoy the age gap romance, but I ended up loving it. Emerson and Charlie were perfect for each other. Emerson was caring, respectful, and never pressured her, which made their connection even more meaningful.

The fact that he’s her ex’s dad felt weird at first, but it actually added a unique twist that worked really well.

If you’re into BDSM and love your romance spicy with real emotional depth, this one’s a must-read!

It took me a while to get into this but once I did, I found it enjoyable. I've been trying to find a new BDSM author (Sierra Cartwright isn't doing it for me) and it's been hard. Sara Cate's Praise is no Joey W. Hill or Cherise Sinclair but her storytelling is neat, her writing style is very decent, her characters are endearing.
