Do NOT let this cute cartoon cover fool you because this book is SPICY🥵🥵. AND do NOT read this book on a work break because I needed to fan myself off after!!! All of that aside I LOVED this book and could not put it down and wanted more of Locke and Maren at the end💚. 

Locke is a pro golfer who has a don’t give a f*ck attitude and doesn’t let other people's opinions dictate how he lives. Maren is a people pleaser who is a photographer for the team Locke plays for and just got out of a relationship with a toxic man. Maren want’s Locke to teacher her how to not give a f*ck while Locke wants a fake friendship with Maren to help with his image but Locke wants more from the first taste. Locke would do anything for Maren including moving her into his home because of the places and apartments she was looking at. He found a flaw in every single apartment so she had to move in with him and I swooned 😍. 

I LOVED the way that his need for Maren was compared to an addiction because he fixated on her and wanted to get to know her to keep her safe and learn every inch of Maren’s body. He learned early on she had a praise k!nk and helped her explore this and used “good girl” every chance he got because he loved what it did to her🥵. The golf club scene 🥵 holy hell I needed a cold shower and every needs to run and read this book because holy hell hotness🥵. This man was OBSESSED with Maren and he fell hard and fast for her and wanted to give her the world.  

I cannot recommend this book enough and I wish I could reread because Locke has made the boyfriend list and he will not be removed💚.
