I loved every minute of this book. It is a very slow burn type of romance and I loved the realness of the main character. The story itself was also moving in certain parts and it did a great job at displaying the complexity of humanity—in all its good and bad. The spicy 🌶️ scenes were written well and my only complaint in that regard is that I couldn’t get enough! 😝🖤 Five star read for sure!

The banter is on point. Just enough smut, but more about the relationship and world than that.
