This one was a lot of fun. Pretty steamy. Doors way open. I love how it put women in the centre, normalizing what it can look like to take control of your sexual experience. And of course, I’m here for all of the smash the patriarchy stories.

I get that romance can often require some serious suspension of disbelief, but I did find a number of the sexy scenarios to be kind of borderline laughable - like, I don’t think you need to get naked in the shower with someone to help her wash her hair because of an injury. Some moments of eye rolling did not interfere with my overall level of enjoyment though.
