This was sooo good! The moment I finished I wanted to jump right back in. I adored all the characters and the sex scenes were so deliciously good. Also fabulous casting for the audiobook!

Liked the first in the series better but yep it’s a wild ride. Stalker mafia romance, violence implied and on page. Read the CWs before cracking this open

If you’re expecting a repeat of Josh and Aly’s story, think again. Caught Up is its own wild ride and I loved every second of it. Junior’s wrapped up in the Italian mob, Lauren’s a badass sexual content creator, and somehow their worlds collide in the best way.

There’s strong found family vibes (Lauren’s friends are amazing), and yes, there’s an animal sidekick because it wouldn’t be a Navessa Allen book without one. Walter the dog is huge, goofy, and completely lovable.

This one dives into rekindled love and explores kink with zero shame. It’s spicy (like, really spicy) but also full of heart and depth. The relationships feel real and well-developed.

Also, the audiobook? Absolutely worth it. Even if you have the physical book, do yourself a favor and listen to it too. The narration is chef’s kiss. And after that bonus sneak peek at the next book? Yeah... I need Book 3 right now.

Totally recommend this for a full-on immersive read and listen combo.

This book was fantastic in my opinion. The characters were fun and did have a lot of growth during the story. The family dynamic in Nick's family felt very real but not too dark. This story had darker themes than the first book but still left room for redemption for the characters. Josh wasn't "fixed" because of Allie, he still had his flaws on display but they were put to good use. Lauren and Nick's story was really good and they had actual adult conversations while going through their issues. I loved that Navessa Allen talked a lot about therapy and created characters to show a progressive side to sex work. I loved this book and cannot wait for the next one!
