Nice and a bit different. Enjoyed the adult entertainment scenario.

Sometimes you just want a little smut with a side of feelings—and this totally scratched that itch. Cara and Josh had predictable but still enjoyable chemistry (Naomi almost derailed it, but thankfully common sense prevailed). If Cara had ended up with Everett? I’d have flipped a table.

Surprisingly, it got me thinking about the stigma around the adult industry. Personally? I couldn’t date an active performer—but if they’re retired? Babe, line forms behind me.

Fast-paced, smile-inducing, and spicy enough to roast marshmallows over my blushing face. Not groundbreaking, but definitely entertaining.

I expected more from this book! I liked the characters, but the plot wasn't my cup of tea. I love the discussion about sex work!

oh this is terrible. giving it 3 stars because the idea is great and i like josh and naomi and maybe i had some fun every now and then, but jesus christ is it bad.

The characters. The plot. None of it worked for me. I appreciate sex positivity, but that is the most positive review I can offer.

honestly i loved the sexual tension in this book holy moly and i loved that for once the only thing that meant they couldn’t be together didn’t have anything to do with the ex girlfriend like you’d expect
i really felt the emotional connection between these two and it was really good!!

So hot. Funny and emotional, but I didn't have to do much mental work (I know a lot of people dislike this idea, that some people "turn their brain off", but I genuinely felt like I was just watching a cute TV show...it's not a book you learn much from). Perfect romance book for me
