My first book from S.J. Tilly and I must say what an amazing impression she's left on me with this one. It's chock full of smut and fluff, enough to keep your thirst satiated and your heart bursting at its seams.
Age-gap romances will always be one of my favourite tropes and this was done so so well. FMC is actually in her 30s and not 18 years old, YAY! 30s is still young, despite what society says. Both characters were also behaving consistent with their ages but fit so well together. The romance was so well-developed - it was vulnerable, it was tender, it was sexy and it was genuine.
I will say that one pet peeve I had was how the FMC is implied to be plus sized but also small and dainty at the same time. And this is mentioned multiple times throughout, like I get it he's huge and she's small in comparison. Other than that, it doesn't take away from how sweet their relationship is so I'm willing to overlook it.
I had picked this up very randomly to fill my Sunday morning but I will definitely check out more books from S.J. Tilly because this was such a great read. I'm so jealous because now I want an Axel. My turn when?
