5.0

I loved this book even more than the first one. Evan hires Nick to be his pretend boyfriend for a few months for inheritance reasons but it's never just a business deal to either of them.

Nick is a ball of sunshine, I absolutely adored him, and Evan was his perfect match. Both are scared to be emotionally vulnerable but can't help it with each other. These guys were wonderful together and balanced each other out so well, and the sex was super hot!

The book is so funny, and Nick is one of my new fave characters, he was So Much and I loved that about him.

Just like with the author's other book Never Have I Ever Submitted to My Enemy, this one surprised me with how nuanced the characters were and how sexy communication can be lol.

I loved the found family in this book - all the guys at the Crimson Club were great and the scenes with them were so much fun, and Vlado was amazing!

I really loved this book, and while a few things in the last 10% went a bit off the rails with the
human organ trafficking
that seemed out of the blue and unnecessary, it's still a 5 star book for me.
