final thoughts: HOLY SMOKES!! This book blew me away. New book boyfriend alert.
I LOVED the dynamics and character growth between the MCs in this book! The MMC was attentive, great at aftercare, a communicator, supportive, and interesting. The FMC was strong, vocal, a communicator, and interesting. I loved having both MCs being strong and interesting. The spice was SPICY, the plot was great, the side characters brought depth to the story… overall this book was so good, and I’ll definitely be adding more books from these authors to my TBR!
I need more findom/spoiling books in my life- bring on all the billionaires!
THE EXTENDED EPILOGUE!!!! That on it’s own is a 5 star read… I mean come ON.
The only thing that could’ve made this better was to be first person POVs which is my personal preference for a romance
