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.

Lovely feel-food romance. This author is consistent in building chemistry and heat between characters. However, I feel we could’ve come up with a better reason why the FMC was reluctant to be in a relationship. Those circumstances were too intense to not be explored in more detail. Also, I wanted more interaction between the MMC and his friends. His previous “poly” experiences would’ve been cool to explore. Not my fave from this author but def worth a read. I'm making my way through all her books!

Thank you Dreamscape Media for the advance listening copy!

This being my first alc, and it being a “spicy”/ “steamy” book did have me looking over my shoulder to see if any heard the sounds leaking from my headphones!

This was a solid romance, and a fun read (listen?)! This being the third Talia Hibbert book I’ve read I can definitely say I’m a fan of her writing!

There were definitely some parts of the story that I did find myself cringing at, but I just chocked it up to me not understanding British humor.

I wish this did delve more into the fake relationship aspect because once the horniness took off there was no looking back until close to the end of the book with the revelations, and confessions.

I LOVED THIS! Nik was so perfect and cute and sweet. I'm happy that Aria was able to let her feelings take over and embrace the love she found. There were so many moments I wanted to highlight from this one. Just yeah. My biggest grip was with the disjointed feeling timeline, we skip forward and rush to certain points and I was honestly disappointed. I could have used even more time with these two.
