i'm kinda shocked by how much I liked this. the writing reminded me of Talia Hibbert (in the best way).
there is one thing i HATED about this book though -- which is the abundance of unnecessarily gendered terms to refer to their genitals. I do not like the transphobic undertones of describing her vagina as "her femininity" and his dick as his "maleness" -- ick. Tessa Bailey is certainly liberal with her plethora of descriptive terms for those body parts and I strongly feel that "maleness" and "femininity" should be struck from that list. other than that, the smut was pretty good, and this is definitely a steamy book.
