I got this as a blind date with a book purchase off the TokShop, so I went into this novella blind.
I mean. It wasn't horrible. It was pretty bland but a fast read. This plot shouldn't have been a novella, but would have benefitted from being fully fleshed out as a novel just because of the kind of conflict that comes from dating your ex's older brother after your ex brings his new fling home. The BDSM club scenes were also written in such a way that I felt like the author had a clear picture in their head of what was happening, but failed to communicate to the reader what was happening. It was all pretty vague, pretty rushed, pretty bland. I did appreciate how much emphasis this author put on consent and aftercare during the spicy scenes though.
