Powerless by Elsie Silver

A very cute friends-to-lovers romance with plenty of delicious tension that eventually built into some of the most intense smut I’ve read in a while. Sloane and Jasper stole my heart: the way they fit together and truly understood and complemented one another was so satisfying to read. The only thing that didn’t fully click for me was reconciling the Jasper we meet at the start with the Jasper in the later smut-heavy chapters, though that might just be me. The storyline itself was solid, nothing groundbreaking, but enjoyable, and I especially loved the use of text messages to open chapters, which got us more in touch with previous well-loved characters. Overall, a very enjoyable read, even if it didn’t quite become an all-time favorite.
