I absolutely love everything that Sloane Kennedy writes. Hurt/comfort with BDSM aspects are by far my favorite genre. This book hit everything for me. I had m/m action with some m/m/f thrown in. There were bdsm elements and lots of hurt/comfort to go around. The only thing I could have asked for would be maybe a spanking scene. Other than that this book was a home run for me.

Another strong, emotion filled story from Sloane Kennedy. Loved this novella and so glad Daisy finally got her story!

3.90/5? 4/5?
- idk how i feel about this
- but i didn’t hate it
- i liked the writing and the world is interesting enough to make me want to read all the books in this megaverse (and also because i really liked the characters and would like to get their breadcrumbs lol)
- i’m only cautious bc i assume (key word: assume) the author is heterosexual and that usually makes for fetishized m/m
- which i feel like we... did get in this book? but also not really?
- like we started off great and it was like ‘yes! finally an m/m without fetishization’..... but then pure sex for the next couple chapters or so and then back to there being a relationship that beyond sex (and not really healthy but thankfully that’s fixed by the end)
- and then there’s the fact that daisy was essentially turned on or something by all the m/m couple being so in love at the wedding
- so do you see my dilemma?
- like i want to read more but also don’t want to support m/m fetish tho part of me wonders if it’s because this is a novella and things need to get done faster compared to full length books, which might be better
- also it’s mentioned that this could be read as a standalone without reading anything else in the series tho i think the author did say it would be much better if you did read the series or other books set in the same world, and i have to agree because i don’t understand their jobs at all
