Caught Up by Navessa Allen
5.0

I do love a good second chance romance.
I loved Junior, and I really liked Lauren.
I actually liked this a lot better then the first one, but don't @ me.
However, I thought she was kind of a hypocrite when she freaked out and stopped talking to him once he made a comment about her future career path, but his career was non-negotiable. Like, I'm glad that he was ready to leave that career, because she wasn't willing to budge.
She also wasn't willing to budge regarding her open intimacy and he had to get into her open lifestyle, but "thankfully" he was into it as well? Hard to believe, but I'm glad that worked for them. If I'm remembering correctly, she told him that she needs this, and that a relationship wouldn't work between them if he doesn't do it, too? Like I'm glad that you know what you want, but dang, give the dude a break.
I would've preferred more one-on-one intimacy, but I guess that's a me thing. I get that this book was about voyeurism, so just because that is a personal fear of mine doesn't mean it's a negative for this book.
Nonetheless, I found this an entertaining second-chance spicy read, and I adored Nico "Junior".
