I was NOT expecting the FILTHY FILTHY mouth on Bishop. Or the Daddy of it all. This was SO fun and he was SO filthy and I loved every second of it. I liked the bits of timeline overlap with book 1 and what will be book 3. I lovedddddddd that no one in her family did the whole thing where he wasn't allowed to be with her because he was good enough to be their friend/honorary family member/coworker but not good enough for her - that was all in his head. I loved when they finally broke down adn had vulnerable conversations and also when they let each other take care of them. I loved the Daddy of it all for the tease and the kink and how kind of organically that came about. They're not in a specific dynamic but there were pauses to discuss if she liked it or not and he would have totally aborted and switched directions if she didn't. I loved how she teased more out of him and forced him to interact with the staff/his friends and see those friendships for what they were. And, I loved how he was literally just there for his boss babe who wanted someone to take control at the end of the day and take care of her.
