I've been waiting and waiting for Orlando's book ever since I read Always Eli, which was forever ago, and it was exactly what I hoped it would be! Orlando is just such a fun character, and he's so sweet, and I think Charles and Jude were perfect for him! This book was filled to the brim with filthy, sexy scenes, but also with a lot of nice emotional moments. The only reason is not getting a full 5 stars from me is because I do wish it had had more moments of their relationship growth in the page. There was a lot of time skipping where I just wish we'd seen maybe some texting between them or something to really solidify how close they were growing to each other when they weren't living together or spending a ton of time together yet.
