This was a super sweet, super spicy read! The plot was almost entirely internal, focusing on our three main characters who we know from the jump are all in love with each other. The book takes place as their relationships develop, and our established couple negotiates a new relationship with their best friend and roommate via recording 🌽 videos.

It’s super sweet, dripping with affection and love, (and other things). I found it was sometimes a bit repetitive, especially Luka’s inner doubts and the I Love You’s (I am totally and I Love You person, and it was a bit much even for me).

I really enjoy the way Oniomoh handles family conflict, and I found the dynamics in this one particularly relatable. The characters navigating autonomy in their family relationships balances really well with the empowerment they’re claiming romantically and sexually.

Overall this was such a blast from start to finish! I don’t typically read contemporary romance with nothing magical/ paranormal, but I think I’ll have to make an exception for this author going forward.

Normally I'm not an erotica girlie because I find that I tend to need plot in order to care about the spice. This book gave me juuuuuuust enough character development and plot to get invested in the spice. It was quiiiiiiiiiite nice.

This book is extremely spice forward but it’s also got great character development and so much love. I like that we get the perspective from all 3 characters and that although it takes awhile for them to all come to terms with their feelings *cough* Luka *cough*, they figure it out in the end. You really get the love at the forefront of the story and the spicy scenes really move the plot along in a perfect way.

Super spicy without too much plot. Fun story but not a ton of conclusion on some of the side plotlines, which was fine with me. A great spicy read to break up anything heavy in your tbr!

This was so precious, sappy, and cozy. I loved that it had fat sex workers and that it was so consent and safety heavy. Kian was adorable - a teddy bear with all the caregiver vibes. Jordanne was sweet and kind. Luka was an anxious boy with abandonment trauma. All of them had different family traumas and hang ups that were authentic and relatable. They all also had different outcomes with their families and supported each other in the difficult moments.

Spice: 5/5
