2025 reread + audiobook:
I didn't think it was possible to love this book more than when I first read it but I was completely wrong. Holy hell the audiobook is icing on the metaphorical cake - I was literally cackling while listen to the duet narration and I think Elena Wolfe and Jacob Morgan have spoiled me for all other narrators. Favorite romance? Nah. Favorite BOOK - hands down.

I am so freaking excited for the sequel Caught Up. Queue me foaming at the mouth, waiting for June 10th to arrive.

2024:
Navessa Allen absolutely knocked it out of the park with this πŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‘πŸΌ

Characters - brilliant
Plot - exceptional and believable
Humor - top tier and giggle worthy
Smut - 🌢️🌢️🌢️🌢️πŸ₯΅

I loved this so much. I'd been waiting for this since it was first teased on social media months ago and the wait was absolutely worth it. It's totally worth going into this without knowing much but definitely check the trigger warnings at the start of the book because this is very spicy (in the best ways).

Edit: Allen handled the miscommunication trope so well! Miscommunication is the bane of my existence and biggest pet peeve in a romance story and she KILLED it.
