 What a way to kick off Pride Month!!!

This is the spiciest book with an actual plot I've ever read. Harley Laroux wrote spicy scenes into every chapter and still managed to make me fall in love with these characters.

This is a poly bisexual romance with a LOT of kinky spice. Please check the trigger warnings before diving in. 🖤

The character growth is amazing. I have to admit, reading a book this spicy with an FMC named Jessica was a little jarring for me (lol). Honestly, I hated her at first. I had to keep reminding myself that she was younger when she was a bully, but her need to please her awful friends had me raging a few times.

But her transformation is truly beautiful. By the end of the first book, she’s a much stronger, more confident version of herself. And I’ve fallen in love with her!

The boys: Manson, Jason, Vincent, and Lucas, had their own growth arcs, too. I loved them all from the beginning and honestly couldn’t decide who I loved more. As a monogamous girly... I’d probably choose them all too. 😂

Harley Laroux created an emotional story of trauma healing (in so many forms), consent, trust, queer joy, and love. This is now an auto-buy author for me. At this point, I’ll read anything they write. They can do no wrong in my eyes.

I can’t wait for book two!! (Which is on its way because of course I needed the physical books!)
