Honestly, this book isn’t what I expected. At all. I enjoyed reading this, somewhat. It was engaging throughout the entire book. I will have to warn you, this book is definitely a lot “spicier” than I had expected. It goes into some detail, (a lot more than I was expecting), just a warning. I wouldn’t read it if you’re not old enough. The characters though. I don’t even know where to start with them. I loved reading this and watching them grow and mature as individuals. I hate Aaron with a passion. There were points in the book where he made me internally scream. The book was a little longer than it really needed to be, but it was still engaging. If you aren’t one who is up to reading smut, I really don’t recommend it. Overall, the book was okay. It wasn’t really my thing but that’s also partially my fault because I should have done a little more research on it before buying it.

3.5

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.
