This book is all sex no plot. I like a good sexy book but I also want my characters to have a deep growing connection along with their intimate moments. The book also starts stating that two moments (not depicted in the book) a kiss and she rides his hand prior to the book even starting. Which helped the spice start faster but it also meant there wasn’t enough build up or sexual tension. I also found the Smutt scenes to be very repetitive and ultimately it felt an unnecessary sacrifice for good character development. If you like all or nothing with spice, then I 100% recommend you’ll probably love it! I’ve read books at an equal spice level that just did the character and plot development better so my expectations were a bit high for Theo and Avery’s relationship.
