The steam was steaming in this one! It was well done and the plot was certainly raunchy but I just felt the story fell a bit flat. I can't fully put my finger on why, but i do know the ending was a bit anticlimactic. Overall the story didn't leave much of an impression other than some good jaw-dropping moments but it was still a fun read.

DNF
this isn't my type of book, but it was recommended to me for the "weird plot." i was expecting something more surreal or even sinister, but it turned out to be a story about a middle-aged divorced woman sleeping with her college-aged daughter's best friend. while that's a slightly complex premise, the story itself is not at all complex or gripping. this book clearly isn't for me, but i know someone out there would love it, so i gave it 2 stars

Sweet and spicy, the way a good romance book should be. Yeah, the situation is a little weird and problematic (a fact that the characters NEVER stop reminding the reader of!) but it's handled delicately and leads to a surprisingly wholesome story. I did feel that some of the secondary characters react to the situation in a pretty unrealistic manner, especially towards the end, but this is a minor gripe.

This book made me a little uncomfortable just because even as someone who will be 25 in a couple weeks, I wouldn't feel comfortable dating someone 21. It's just so young, and also I feel like

Erin abused her power at some points and was really mean to Cassie for absolutely no reason and even though Erin was the one who had power in situations

also I feel like there were too many spicy scenes.
