Every time I read a Chestnut Springs book I think oh my god this couldn’t get any better and every time it does.

I’m not usually a fan of friends to lovers but the tension in this was sooooo good. Those hotel scenes were so hot 🥵 Jasper Gervais is just all round yum even if he is traumatised and emotionally stunted (but that the way we like them really)

I also absolutely adore Harvey - he’s an icon and is always eager to provide some much needed comic relief and i’m hoping he gets his own HEA at some point.

Anyway, some of my fav lines from the book include:

•
“Fuck my safety. If I died riding Jasper Gervais in the driver’s seat…. Out with a bang so to speak

•
You’re not my fucking friend. You’re just mine

•
Take your clothes off Sloane


Also some spoiler-y tropes:
• Friends to lovers
• Runaway bride
• There was only one bed
• Cowboy (kinda) x ballerina
