I really liked how the characters were both adoring and amorous! The smutty bits were fun! Hibbert does a great job of choreographing hot, real scenes focused on women’s pleasure that don’t use cringey language that makes you want to crawl out of your skin midway through.
I initially found the audiobook narrator choice a little odd since her default narration felt like a better fit for Gigi (or Lady Danbury) than the voice she created for Chloe. But it grew on me a lot and was worth it for how swoony and specific she made Red’s dialogue.

I also liked Red quite a bit, which is surprising because I'm usually not a big fan of men in romance novels. But he reminded me of my partner, with his compassion and always paying close attention to Chloe and anticipating her needs. I saw some reviews complaining that he was a mind reader, but I disagree. He simply paid attention to her physical signs of pain and exhaustion and acted accordingly. Literally the least we can expect from a devoted partner, in my opinion.
The smut wasn't for me, but that's not unusual. It also was unnecessarily dramatic at times, but I feel like that's easily forgiven with books like this.
Overall, I found it to be a very relaxing and fun read with much appreciated diversity and accurate disability representation.
