“With her head tipped back, knees in the dirt, a man using her mouth, she'd never felt more like a woman.“

IMMEDIATE jail time for this line, among other, numerous crimes.

Poorly written, felt barely edited, the sex scenes had me cringing (especially the dialogue, jfc), no chemistry. But truly the most egregious offense is that this truly feels like the author wanted to write a teen/older man forbidden age gap romance but just aged the girl up to 23 and kept her a virgin. The way he talks about her + the sex scenes are kinda ped0-y, so much focus on her innocence and inexperience…and then he’s just literally only ever jackhammering her while she calls him a “sex god” 🥴 Now that I think about it, this really reads like it was written by a teenage girl who watches mainstream porn but has never had sex. I actually hated this so much.

This is the worst romance book I have ever read. Wow.

Too much smut. Took me a while to finish because I just had no desire to keep reading. I didn’t even read the last 4-5 chapters, I skimmed through them just to avoid having to DNF the book. Cute idea, poor execution. The plot got lost so many times in the mixture of all the smut, and it felt kind of like a high school aged book in a lot of parts
