This book positively surprised me. I definitely wasn’t expecting it to be so steamy based on the cover loll.
I really loved all the characters in this book. It took me a while to warm up to Clara (girl FORGET Everett) but I grew to love her as she grew more confident and independent. 
I think the way the author uses this book as a criticism of corruption in the porn industry is super interesting because I wasn’t expecting to see such topics in a romance novel. Imo the author did a great job - I really felt her passion on the matter. 

Overall I would’ve preferred for them not to spend so long doing the ‘oh I’m gonna try to ignore my feelings bc they don’t feel the same way’ bc spoiler alert: THEY DO but they got over it eventually lol. Great chemistry between the characters and I loved the dual pov :)
