Takes a while to get going but the tension is constantly ramping up. Wish there was more spice but the romance and relationship building was perfect. There is some darkish themes surrounding mental health struggles so check you’re in a safe space. Overall a light hearted forbidden romance that will make you feel all the feels

I have a soft spot for the best friends brother trope, so starting this book was not a hard sell for me. Throw in the kink factor and the slow burn elements in the beginning with the angst of fighting your true feelings and I was completely sold.
Over all this was a solid romance, I just felt like the falling action was rushed. The final conflict was introduced and then like with a snap of your fingers it was done.
