“Hey… hey, little star. It’s okay. Everything is okay. I’m here. Do you want me to hold you? Would that make you feel better?”
Reviewing this book is difficult, because I sort of really do love it a lot, but there’s also a fair bit to criticize. I love the story. The hurt/comfort (both ways) is so good, and I love how cheesy and super sweet (and hot!) the romance is. It is omegaverse through and through with knots, lots of slick and tons of scenting (which is adorable). It’s also pretty high heat, with plus points for adorable PDA.
It does have a bit of a wattpad feel. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing at all, it’s just very different. It could probably use a few rounds of editing as it’s pretty rough, but I honestly enjoy the characters and how low angst the story is so much that I can overlook a lot of it. It’s a very long book considering the plot, but I think that’s just the author’s style, which is okay. It’s my third time reading it so it’s obviously fine, lol.
One thing that is pretty jarring at first (and a hard no for many) is that it changes POV in the middle of chapters (and sometimes paragraphs) out of the blue. You gotta pay attention, lol. I get used to it pretty fast, but for others I know it can be super annoying and difficult to get into.
Anyway, now that it sounds like I’ve only got negative shit to say, let me end the review by saying that Miles sounds so freaking cute. He wears makeup sometimes, cute underwear, short shorts, crop tops and knee-high socks. Cute cute cute.

He didn’t want to meet the football team. He didn’t know what had possessed him to say that he would. Well, he did know what had possessed him. It was what Naeem had referred to as “the spirit of good dick”.
“Only you could make it sound romantic when you ask to go down on me.” “I am a man of many talents.”
Matthew wondered if Miles realized how loud he was during sex, and thought he must not, because he was pretty sure that people heard him begging for his cock.
