3.5

I’m between a 3.5 and 3.75 but I’m going to the higher end actually changed my mind while writing the review.

The spicy scenes are definitely spice.

The book though is a bit too long and dragged at the end yet also the ending felt very rushed.

I wish there was more character development with the evil friend I am totally blanking on his name. Like he just seemed pure bad and I didn’t really feel for his character even when Stas was saying he was good. He fell flat for me. Actually all the characters fell a little flat I think I’m going to drop by rating down to 3.5. All the characters seemed all good or all bad there wasn’t really an in between. Or at least any discussion of an in between, like Nathan was very controlling at points.

If you like spice the book is good for that, nice quick read. Will probably read this author again. Not a top romance author like Emily Henry but still enjoyable to read.

3.0

The amount of nicknames and duo pov makes it hard to follow sometimes. Especially if you did not read the book for a few days. Sex scene was ok. Not as graphic as what I thought with all the TikTok hype. 

Parts of the story made me so angry though. Definitely check your triggers. It’s not that graphic when it comes to triggers, but would be nice to know. TikTok didn’t say anything about those…

Literally just smut. I appreciate the consent and all, although sometimes it goes a bit too far. I usually don't mind some smut, but this book is excessive and the plot is almost nonexistent (I didn't expect this much smut, especially with a cover like that).

5.0

I absolutely loved this book. Anastasia and Nate were such an excellent couple and the side characters weren’t at all annoying and actually made the book better. There wasn’t anything that made me wanna hide and die of embarrassment and I enjoyed how it ended, though it was quite fast. 5/5, amazing cute fluffy smutty romance.
