I wanted to love this one cause I really enjoyed Lights Out. But it just was not hitting the same.

Minor: Sexual violence

This book is a romance between a cam girl and a mobster who stalks her, so expect lots of violence and sexual content. However, the MMC is also emotionally and physically abused by his father and the FMC has a long and detailed history of being bullied. Sexual violence is discussed but not in detail and not depicted.

The only thing I truly loved in this book was the twist. I enjoyed the found family aspect most of all. Good for them.

Didn’t enjoy this one as much as Lights Out. Junior/Nico seemed like a giant red flag personified and I don’t think a decade with of stalking, even for “protective” purposes, should be forgiven so easily.

I will note that I appreciated the sex work and kinks positivity. And how Nico, even though he was very possessive, encouraged Lauren’s career.
