If you’re expecting a repeat of Josh and Aly’s story, think again. Caught Up is its own wild ride and I loved every second of it. Junior’s wrapped up in the Italian mob, Lauren’s a badass sexual content creator, and somehow their worlds collide in the best way. 

There’s strong found family vibes (Lauren’s friends are amazing), and yes, there’s an animal sidekick because it wouldn’t be a Navessa Allen book without one. Walter the dog is huge, goofy, and completely lovable. 

This one dives into rekindled love and explores kink with zero shame. It’s spicy (like, really spicy) but also full of heart and depth. The relationships feel real and well-developed. 

Also, the audiobook? Absolutely worth it. Even if you have the physical book, do yourself a favor and listen to it too. The narration is chef’s kiss. And after that bonus sneak peek at the next book? Yeah... I need Book 3 right now. 

Totally recommend this for a full-on immersive read and listen combo.
