Reviews with content warning for Sexual assault - Scandalized

While the subplot of the book isn’t bad, of which is a story uncovering illegal activity in a club in london from the point of view of the journalist. Unfortunately that is ruined by the fact that this entire book is essentially a wattpad/ao3 like smut fest. And honestly as much as I can appreciate spice just as much as the next person it ruined it for me.

Truly a shame as the two MC’s are childhood friends reconnecting in the wildest ways so had it been more chill with the smut or maybe had a more direct focus on the story being uncovered by our journalist in the book I think it would’ve ranked higher with me

Ivy Owens, welcome back! I say that because this book was so reminiscent of Christina Lauren's earlier work that I'm convinced Ivy was Lauren's alter ego all along. This book was sexy, steamy, tense - all my favorite things in a romance novel! The chemistry was off the charts and the conflicts all felt realistic and not blown out of proportion. Highly recommend this one!
