George is on his way home for the first time in almost a decade to attend his ex’s wedding. His hopes for a relaxing trip are thwarted when a dildo related mishap ends with him sharing a flight with the most infuriating man he’s ever met. Alex is just as attractive as he is annoying and there’s something about having his undivided attention that makes George feel all sorts of uncomfortable - he can’t wait to get off this flight so he never has to think about Alex again.

Imagine George’s surprise when he arrives home to discover that the man he’s going to be sharing a tent with is none other the man he just spent hours trying to ignore on his flight. This wedding just got a lot more complicated. 

The plot of this is pretty simple considering it’s over 500 pages. The book really concentrates on our mc’s - their insecurities, quirks and pasts. It’s also packed to the brim with cute and quirky side characters who are all rooting for the romance to take place. This is really just a super sweet romcom with filled with character growth and cute shenanigans. There’s a tiny bit of angst towards the end but readers aren’t left hanging for very long and the HEA is super syrupy sweet just like the rest of the book. 

I’ll also just add that the spice in this was SPICING. I expect nothing less from Fae at this point but this was like a smorgasbord of ridiculously hot spicy tropes. Alex has to have one of the absolute filthiest mouths ever. I particularly loved the almost unhinged amount much time he spent thinking about biting George (I loved it even more when actually bit him). Don’t even get me started on the pet names, I already have a thing for “kitten” but “Duchess” was just too much, the cute aggression was almost overwhelming. Literally the only disappointment I had with this was that we didn’t actually get a scene that fully utilised George’s lingerie collection, but I’m sure I’ll get over it eventually . 

⭐ 5/5
