I love this book so much. But first, a trigger warning. The female MC is a journalist who is writing an investigative article about a sexual assault scandal at a club. OK, now back to business. A lot of bad things came out of the pandemic, but this book was one of the VERY good things. It's spicy. It's sweet. The pace never slowed. It didn't get bogged down in the conflict between the MCs. And because it starts off with a bang (a one night stand), I didn't have to read 200 pages of slow burn for the MCs to get together. So reader, if that's not your thing, don't come here to yuk on this book because it doesn't have your favorite romance tropes. As for me, tonight I'm going to dream about Alexander Kim and his luscious lips.
