Another excellent story from Tessa Bailey! If you like Tessa Bailey, this book has all the stuff we love from her. If you haven't read Tessa yet, what are you doing? Get! Her! Books!
π The FMC's backstory was an interesting and a bit surprising choice, but I think it ultimately worked as a good reason for why she acts irrationally at times (moreso than the average person might). I loved the growth we saw in both the FMC and MMC, and the love they both had for MMC's daughter.
π§ The audio was good. I prefer dual narration when there's dual POV, but this single female narrator did a good job with both parts.
πΆοΈ There's lots of (vanilla) spicy scenes with plenty of dirty talk, and a slightly complicated power dynamic between the MCs that makes it feel slightly taboo.
π¬And I can't wait for book 3 in this series! It was teased pretty heavily in this book so of course now I'm eagerly awaiting it (in 6+ months π).
