Wow, this book was STEAMY! And so dang sweet! I loved both Christian and Sebastian, and I loved them together! Christian couldn't seem to get his infatuation and curiosity for Sebastian out of his mind, and following his attraction led him dangerously close to stepping into old habits that he worked really hard to leave behind. Luckily, this time around, he found a reason to resist being sucked back into a toxic lifestyle: helping Sebastian find success and happiness. I loved the trust he gave to Sebastian from the start, and I loved how Sebastian was able to depend on Christian not only professionally but personally as well. I think giving Sebastian an anxiety disorder made sense with the plot and gave the story the opportunity for him to be a little more vulnerable with Christian, who rises to the occasion of caring for him like a champ. Their chemistry lit the pages on fire, but their sweetness with each other was just as enjoyable to read. I do think Christian fell head over heels super quickly, but it didn't feel like it was too much. The pacing was good and I really enjoyed it!
