short and sweet

I actually ended up liking this more than I thought I would

it was very hot and just really nice to read but my absolute favorite thing about this book by far is the fact that Quinn got turned on by Jack punching a guy for her. I am so happy this happened because whenever that happens in a book the girl always is upset she's like no blah blah blah its not worth It

I am ecstatic over the fact that I can finally read about a girl being turned on by a man being jealous and possessive like that, hurting someone for her...its so primal ...because im also like that so I felt SEEN. So just because of that fact I know I am a fan of this author and will be with reading more of her books I read this just in time because the next one in the series is coming out tomorrow and I didn't even know that when I pick this up!



I also feel like these two are soulmates

I had high hopes for this 90-page novella, and while it started off strong, it did end up spending far too much time on a common plot device–a trope that I’ve seen a million times before, which ended up consuming valuable space in this novella. I don’t mind (actually, I sometimes love) this trope when it’s done right, and not when it’s basically the entire book. Trope is under the spoiler tag:
SpoilerThey go to a club, where some guy expresses unreciprocated interest in her, and of course, Jack has to beat him up to assert his dominance, claim “ownership”, and show that he has deeper feelings for the heroine

Very fun pallette cleanser. Short but good! Very spicy as well, but I just read it with a stone face like all the others.

3.5ish star. I’ve learned I’m not into the dog/pet kink. But I quite enjoyed every other aspect of this book (novella). There was even a cute ending!
