I mean I literally have no notes. Kris Ripper owns me now. Ze owns my whole soul, I'm zir servant. 

No but for real this 👏 is 👏 a 👏 book 👏 

Lil synopsis: Will is struggling to maintain a normal relationship because he yearns for a certain dynamic - he craves submission but is too scared to explore that side of himself. Luckily, his twin brother Ads is a complete menace and (after discovering his search history lmao) connects him with the local BDSM community aka Hugh Reynolds 😏😏😏😏 

Not only is it a beautiful example of how a writer can jump between POVs without disrupting the pace and narrative, but instead ADD to the tension and engagement of the reader. It is also a perfect marriage between incredibly hot scenes and intensely introspective and poignant character analysis. I mean I DEVOURED this book and at the time of writing this review am halfway through the second one. 

I havent raced through books with this much fervor since discovery Alexis Hall's writing during the global panini. 5/5 cannot recommend highly enough. I could HEAR my heart beat.
