Let me start with a positive about the book, the ending was cute and the mmc redeemed himself. He was very intuitive throughout but not until the middle did I like him very much.

I feel like the author was trying to convince me that the book was about exploring kinks but none were actually explored. After they exchange notes, they don't really do anything from the list. They don't even mention any of the kinks. I feel like the biggest part of the book fell flat. The swim/dive drama and the love triangle story was just ok.

miss ali hazelwood. the way i love her brain!

her books are the only ones that get me out of my reading slump. every. single. time. 

i binged this in 3 days after not being able to pick up a book for over 2,5 months. 

men written by ali WILL ALWAYS HIT. and lukas is definitely my favourite one. patient and understanding, always knowing what was going on in scarlett’s head. 

this was amazing.  showstopping. breathtaking. made my crave love. 😩

i really want to read ‚not in love‘ now but i gotta save her for a rainy day. 

i love you ali, for writing books that feel like they are especially made for me.

Esta historia es todo lo que está bien en una relación. Por fin un protagonista masculino respetuoso, amoroso, decente, que no quemaría el mundo por ella ni mataría a cualquiera que se le arrimara. Simplemente es un hombre decente. Lo que más me ha gustado es que el libro trata de BDSM (prácticas sexuales alternativas como dominacióm, sumisión, masoquismo), pero lo muestran de una manera siempre consensuada y enmarcado como una práctica saludable. La relación entre los protagonistas es cero tóxica y es un alivio. Como la trama no es truculenta, puede parecer lento. Un punto siempre a favor de la autora es que sus protagonistas son inteligentes y estudian algo relacionado con ciencias.

Ok. This was a hard one to rate. Was it cringe? Yes. Did I roll my eyes? Yes. But I’m also obsessed with these two. The way our FMCs mind works? Me. The MMC? I want. It literally made me smile so much. And blush. All the things.

That’s it. The audio is fantastic!
