This was such a fun, spicy read! I loved the grumpy x sunshine mix of Lukas and Scarlett and their journey in exploring kink together. I also really loved the focus on Scarlett’s recovery from her injury and past trauma, and the way that this was handled with so much care by Lukas. I did find myself getting quite frustrated with Scarlett, especially as we got to the end, but I also felt like she had really realistic reactions and processing times based on her previous experiences and who she is. Overall, I really enjoyed this read, and would especially recommend the audiobook - the narrators absolutely nailed it!
