Nick and Aria are so much fun together; they’re playful, they're snarky, nick is quite awkward, and  Aria is very outgoing in a protective way, I loved them as a fake couple. I love that Nick takes interest in her interests (yay tattoo!). They both want to make this real but have a lot to get past so they have  work hard to find a way to be together.

I was really liking this story until the Nik lie. But now that I read the nick lie how he handled himself after Aria left gave me the ick as well. I couldn’t get over that but otherwise loved the story until then.

Idk every MMC that Hibbert writes I eat it up. But he feels icky and love bomby.

I changed my mind, and rounding up to a 4. I have to remember novellas aren’t going to have characters that are fully fleshed out.

Talia Hibbert is one of my favorite romance authors, and this book was not a disappointment. This is an open door romance with lots of dirty talk and spice. I love the depth of character development and intersectionality that Hibbert always achieves.
