Didn’t imagine I’d read a Sam Mariano book ever again after I gave “Stitches” 1 star, but I’m glad I did give this author another chance; this one is a masterpiece. Just needed a good time and this novella definitely served and even gave me more than what I wanted. 
I never got attached to characters so quickly before as in this one. Even the ones that I didn’t like at first grew on me quickly. Especially James and Penny.
I really like Jessa, and honestly wished her all the happiness in the world, also I loved her bond with Julia!
Marcus Jr. is questionable but I couldn’t help but fall in love with him too (obviously what he did would never slide in real life) he feels like a better version of Sebastian from “Stitches”
Also, I didn’t realize that I loved reading praise kink until I came across this :)
