I didn't particularly enjoy this one - it felt like it was trying to cram an entire novel's worth of a relationship into 100 pages and it just didn't work for me. I find that short stories and novellas work best when they're showing a short period in time between characters in an established series, or if it's not an established series the characters already know each other in some way and the set up happens quickly. This wasn't like that at all and it suffered for it. Also, one of the side characters annoyed me to no end, and the conflict wasn't believable. Not for me unfortunately.
Okay, this was such a super cute and light read. I freaking LOVED Kayla. I think I fell in love with her a little bit. I definitely appreciated the use of safe sex practices in this book. I also really enjoyed the dynamics between her and Michael despite the massive age difference. It was a little weird, but there didn't seem to be this gross imbalance of power that you see in a lot of books with an age difference. I'll definitely check out the rest of this series as well as Rebekah's other stuff. I like the way she writes, and I need to read more black women romance novels. So if you haven't ever done so, give Rebekah a try. You won't regret it.
Short and sweet but I think character development was sacrificed for sex scenes. I'm also not a fan a such a hug age gap (25 years)

It served its purpose. It's a short book with an erotica focus. The writing wasn't horrible, but I feel there was a lot of potential in the story and it was underdeveloped. The characters were just mehhh and some of the dialogue was high level cringe. I gave it a 2.75 because it wasn't the worst thing I've ever read, I was able finished. I am also intrigued to read the second book in the trilogy and see if there's improvement? Overall, I feel like there's lots of room for improvement but the concept was there.

3.5/5 stars. This was super cute! I was impressed by how much I came to like Kayla and Michael given how short the book was. And it was insta-love but I really didn’t mind it like I normally do. I’m definitely going to check out Rebekah’s other stuff now.
