Underwhelming. The disability rep seemed good, but way too instalove, and no good buildup which lead to a definite lack of chemistry. Not a fan.

I liked this romance more then I thought I would! First of all, she has pink hair and has a sex-positive podcast about accessibility. I didn't even mind the 3rd act breakup cause Jay won her back in the best way! This was so cute and the spice?? OFF THE CHARTS.

What a fresh, fun and sexy read!
Frankie is a sexologist who has her own podcast. She has an awesome group of girlfriends that are zany, fun and supportive.
Frankie has a disability and uses a wheelchair to get around. This part was really fresh and exciting in my opinion. Especially in such a sexy, hot romance with some BDSM elements. It’s something you don’t find often in romance, I really appreciate that and enjoyed that aspect of the story.
Jay has learned the art of Shibari (rope tying/rope play/bondage) Frankie is given his name as someone who could give her help with the subject on her podcast.
The two meet for “lessons “ and have instant chemistry. They don’t think they are compatible though. Jay doesn’t date or do relationships. Frankie is all about the relationship.
Their attraction deepens with friendship.
It’s a really sexy, fun, empowering and wonderful story!
I love both characters and their banter and conversations are really fun.
Their chemistry and sexy times are really hot and experimental.
Some serious issues do arise towards the end, they handle it with maturity. Not overly angsty or drawn out.
It’s a pretty quick read, it was a lighter, feel good romance for me. The BDSM elements weren’t dark to me, I think it would be a good/light introduction to someone wondering if that’s something they’d like to read.
I look forward to more in this series by this author.
*The author stated on her website that she’s a person living with a disability, I thought that was important to mention. I think that might reassure some people that the issues tackled came from a person who has experience and knowledge.

The disability rep was good. But really the only good thing about it. No chemistry. Just sex and even that was not well written.

I enjoyed the writing here, but this is one case of a novella/short novel length not being enough. I love a good novella but the pacing of this was really off and made it seem like insta-love. Even though there DEFINITELY was a lot more time that passed.
The representation is great here - Frankie is a wheelchair user due to childhood cancer and a podcaster and sexologist. She links up with Jay who teaches classes on accessible Shibari (rope kink). He has baggage from a past relationship and has to get over the fact that he is NOT just a f-boy but lovable. I believe in their chemistry and relationship, but the transformation Jay goes through needs more time especially because he's like - "no sex, I don't date" and then by the end of the night they are in bed together??? needs more time to develop. But I definitely will read from Evie Mitchell again!
