Mia and Jessie were two people who were never supposed to cross paths much less fall in love. They threw caution to the wind and fell for each other instead. They both knew the consequences of seeing each other but didn't care because they knew that they were meant to be together. Mia's dad had other plans for her.
Jessie came from a very rough neighborhood in Dallas and carried the baggage that came along with it. He unfortunately didn't have the best upbringing so he channelled everything into hockey. He had all of the talent for hockey and he was able to get himself into the NHL and out of Dallas.
Jessie was never able to get his mother away from his abusive father. He loved his mother with all of his being and carried the guilt that he couldn't give her the help that she truly needed. There was so much that Jessie wasn't able to deal with mentally because his mind had blocked it out.
I couldn't help but feel so deeply for Jessie. I cried for him throughout this book. I couldn't help but feel for him because of the things he struggled through in his short lifetime.
I couldn't help but be so happy for him when he was able to finally work through his demons but also go to therapy.
There were so many happy moments in this book I couldn't help but be happy right along with Mia and Jessie. I felt like I was in their friend group and was enjoying every moment by their sides.
🔥 Let's Talk About Sex Baby 🥵: 🌶️🌶️🌶️/5
Jessie and Mia were one of the sexiest couples I have read. Mia was a virgin who didn't have experience in sex but some experience in other things. I loved that he gave her lessons in sex. Showed her how to do certain acts, and she was open to doing others.
These two definitely kept it spicy 🥵.
When I say the spice was spicing 🥵 🥵 🥵 that spice was SPICING YALL 🔥🔥🔥.
I received a complimentary copy via the Ruth Stilling & Wordsmith Publicity. All opinions are my own, honest and voluntary.
