Aiden is the perfect man - how are his bow ties super hot??? He gives of major golden retriever vibes by day, and then is so deliciously aggressive with sex. Like Jekyll and Hyde (but I’m a good way).

I loved this reverse grumpy x sunshine - Aiden was just a blazing star of sunshine. I also loved Stella. At first I didn’t think I’d like her but she immediately grew on me and her vulnerability and bravery was evident really early on. Bailey did a great job of writing her inner conflict: hopefulness over her present/future but self consciousness over her past.

The spice was great - the build up was excellent, especially the reveal that Aiden is not “such a nice guy”.
