The smut was decent, however there wasn’t a lot of it. I didn’t like any of the main characters and the relationship was toxic and icky.frederh's review against another edition

The female main character just turns 19 at the beginning of the book. There is a twenty year age gap.neekoshimmer32's review against another edition

4.0
But this book surprised me so much! It made me believe the story. Like, I could actually see how this might happen. The torment and inner conflict the main characters felt was so gratifying, especially on Pike's part. I really felt for him. And Andrew Eiden's narration was immaculate.
I didn't always love Jordan, but she felt like a believable mature-for-her-age 19 year old. If she hadn't had her occassionally immature behaviors that were frustrating and annoying, then she would have felt older than she really was supposed to be. So it all kinda still worked for me. Ultimately, I could believe the characters and their romance, even if my societal conditioning was always in the back of my head trying to resist it.
There's a line Dutch says part way through:
The 🌶️🌶️🌶️ was 🔥! And this book had so. much. angst. The pacing really worked in this one too.
I may never read another book like this again but I am 100% satisfyed that I read this one. *phew 🥵🥴

*domestic abuse and infidelity doesn't occur between the main characters; toxic relationship is more between the main characters and their exes (as opposed to between the two main characters)
