I adore this book! Jae was so sweet and kind, yet he could also hold his own. Raphael was also so sweet and kind. I loved his bi-awakening. And I loved how truly sorry he was for speaking poorly of Jae and his band in the bathroom. And how he stood up to Mason. I also loved Rapha's instant attraction and insta-stalking. It was great to see them finally meet and fall in love. I do wish I'd learned a little more about the two men, especially Jae. I felt like I needed just a little more regarding who they are outside of each other. 3/5 spice levels.

Notes: bi-awakening, insta-stalking (in a good way), instant love/lust/obsession, cheating, famous/famous, language barrier, strong female supporting characters

I'm blown away by this story. This was so emotional, the characters grew so much throughout the book.

This is a MM story about a rockstar Raphael and a K-pop idol Jae. The way Rapha is obsessed with Jae from their first meeting is...obsessed is actually putting it mildly.

I would have liked to read a bit more from Jae's POV about this meeting and the period afterward.

How Rapha deals with this temptation and awakening is so powerful. He just should have told me earlier, but otherwise... chef's kiss!

And the spice was hot hot hot. The devotion and attention they had for each other was to die for!

Really good

This was a really good rock-kpop star romance story! Raphael and Jae come from two completely different cultures and shouldn’t work (on paper) but after a brief and embarrassing run in in a bathroom they can’t keep each-other out of their heads. This is primarily told from Raphael’s POV but I did appreciate Jae’s sprinkled in as it also included his band as well. Both men have some serious decisions to make with a lot of risks involved for them to make their relationship work. Their is infidelity (not between MMC) in this book so if this bothers you be mindful of this. Camille was a great character and was handled it well but she obviously deserved better. I want a Camille in my corner! Great story, worth the read!

There needed to be more emotion, more drama. It was really flat.  I liked the story l just needed more drama.
