When I was reading the blurb I think I expected something different, sort of like a spicy beginning, funny start but a fun read all in all but once I started to read I realised it wasn’t going to be that. I love the idea and the potential of the book but for me it didn’t hit my own expectations. 

I think that it was too quick and it and could’ve been done better in a full length novel where there’s time to build more character development and story. 

In saying that it was a quick fun read and it did tick a couple of my boxes of Daddy kink, age gap and having a dominant MMC in a book is a favourite.   … As well as the multiple 🌶️🌶️ scenes! 

If you’re looking for a quick smutty read with a silver fox age gap romance I’d recommend this.
