Although i can understand why some this book wasn’t for some people… i personally adored this book. I honestly didn’t expect me to enjoy it this much.

i went into this only knowing i was gonna get a age-gap poly with Dom/Sub + Daddy kink. What i was not expecting was the age regression & CNC. It was unexpected yes, but not completely unwelcome.

I don’t think i’ve ever read an proper book with age regression before. I’ve definitely come across it in fanfic here and there but it was never rlly my thing so i wouldn’t exactly seek it out. I would tend to avoid it when it was paired with a huge age gap tho, because it was never written well enough for it not to make me cringe or weird me tf out.

This book tho? handled it unexpectedly well (with the little i have to compare it to lmao)  I appreciated Camden still being somewhat aware when he was Little and being able to hold proper conversations even if some of them were childish. It definitely made their intimate moments while he was regressed less uncomfortable and actually pretty enjoyable.

I absolutely loved the character dynamics. Their chemistry? phenomenal.

And i say that because i’m not a fast burn relationship person. I avoid fast pace romances like a plague. Insta- love, insta lust? Hard no for me. SO, for this boom to have taken place in a little over a single WEEK, and for me to confidently be able to say i didn’t find their relationship the least bit rushed… means something.

They instantly connected. But didn’t fall head over heels— feel like i’ve known you for years at first sight.
Nor did anyone  start blabbing about how  their self control is in shambles bc they were so attracted to this stranger.

There was chemistry instantly yes, but there was also communication, getting to know each other and generally connecting to each other with something over than their dicks (which is something not a lot of authors know how to do) 

Another thing that contributed to my enjoyment of this book is the lack of angst. And i say that as a person who reads angst for fun. Who ACTIVELY seeks out angsts in books. 

The lack of angst and general lack of side plot was definitely a power move imo. Since most of everything took place over the spans of a few days, being able to focus on developing the characters and their relationships and not being riddled with anxiety and a headache that comes with a heavy side plot and excess drama made it much easier to enjoy.


Overall? I think this book was rlly sweet. Kinky, yes. But also incredibly sweet. 

So sue me, this book is fresh in my head
and it’s 3am, i’m gonna give it 5 stars cuz i fuckin feell like it 😩
