i loved the set up and the tension and their banter! but was def too long for my taste and honestly just TMI at some points (esp. the spicy scenes lol but that’s just me) and i LOVED seeing the set up for the next book in the series and getting to read about pippa and jamie again

i loved this one, even more than pippa a jamie’s book. the story is simple and only focuses on the romance but it’s an easy read, i fell in love with the characters.

i’m glad there was no typical 3rd act breakup as it wouldn’t have worked for this story but there was still enough conflict in the story to stay interesting

the spice was great as per usual and i loved seeing both of them work through their issues and learn to be vulnerable and communicate.
