Hard to connect to at the start because of the sex work advocacy--I'm not opposed, but it does impede the narrative--once the action starts, though... It's incredibly sexy, and the sex feels true to life. It makes a difference, having an author whose bodily experience is similar to their characters.

I picked this up in large part due to rom-com being included in the blurb.  Maybe that element would have been more evident if I read the ebook rather than listening to the audiobook. Didn’t really feel the com part of rom-com.  And there was one thread in the plot that I would like to have known how it was tied up. Having said that, I enjoyed the characters - including hating those that needed hating.
