📖 My Thoughts
I probably would have given this book five stars had i not been currently halfway through the second book which IS SO MUCH BETTER. so the second book kinda ruined me a bit lol. But I still love a good grumpy sunshine book. I find that it’s the trope I can relate to the most because I get a lot of comments that I’m a sunshine type character and my favourite form of self harm is emotionally unavailable men 🤷♀️. I liked the added bit about Ava having a fear of water and I found that I related to her PTSD as I have had a traumatic experience (unrelated to water) but felt like I had experienced what she did. I could not put this book down and I’m excited for the rest of the series!

Female MC is Asian. MMC is first generation Ukrainian immigrant. Beyond that not much else representation detected but I’m white so take this info with a grain of salt.
🌶️ Spice
The spice was thereeeee. It was good but it also gave off the vibes that it was a vanilla couple that was like “oh I use handcuffs I’m so kinky!” There was kinky sex but it wasn’t KINKY if you know what I mean. Like the spanking and orgasm control.
