this book was not worth the hype.
the narrators were annoying, for one. nothing happens between the drinking scenes and the sex scenes. a lot of aspects fall flat, and there seems to be little to no plot besides getting drunk and fucking. even then, those scenes aren't that great. i enjoyed the found family aspect, but it wasn't as much a focal point as it could have been. the dialogue was pretty realistic but listening to the audiobook felt a bit awkward and gave me a new ick: "baby" and "bub" 🤮

I’m between a 3.5 and 3.75 but I’m going to the higher end actually changed my mind while writing the review.
The spicy scenes are definitely spice.
The book though is a bit too long and dragged at the end yet also the ending felt very rushed.
I wish there was more character development with the evil friend I am totally blanking on his name. Like he just seemed pure bad and I didn’t really feel for his character even when Stas was saying he was good. He fell flat for me. Actually all the characters fell a little flat I think I’m going to drop by rating down to 3.5. All the characters seemed all good or all bad there wasn’t really an in between. Or at least any discussion of an in between, like Nathan was very controlling at points.
If you like spice the book is good for that, nice quick read. Will probably read this author again. Not a top romance author like Emily Henry but still enjoyable to read.
