This was a fun, very spicy read that was pretty well written. There was definitely cringey dirty talk and if I had to hear the words “Recharging Station” one more time I would’ve screamed. Piper had a solid character arc and Brendan needs anger management/therapy. There was also a point when I yelled out loud, “Does no one text!?” But I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a romcom/beach read and would be willing to check out Bailey’s other books.
