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.

Light It Up - Katie Perez

“Now that I’ve caught you, what do I get to do with you? “

What an incredible read! The author (Katie) instantly grabbed my interest within the first sentence, that interest didn’t dwindle at all throughout the whole book, I was on the edge on my seat waiting to see what would happen.

I think Sara (FMC) character development grew quite fast, that being said the book is pretty fast paced and I liked reading about her becoming a bit more “girl boss” and less damsel in distress. Garret (MMC) is everything I love, want and need in a love interest. His “touch her and I’ll kill you” protectiveness was exactly why I loved the book so much especially when its added with his softer more loving side.

Even though this is Katie’s first book and there were a couple spelling errors, I was absolutely enthralled reading all about her characters. Sara running away, the secret societies and of course my favourite part was devouring the spicy romance between the two main characters. 🔥

I think this book had amazing plot, not too much but just enough background information, spice and was in general a really great read! Be prepared if you’re going to read this because there is an INSANE cliffhanger!!! That being said I definitely recommend it and I cannot wait it read book 2.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Please be warned there are mature themes and many TWs, recommended reading age is 18+

Thankyou so much to the @theauthor.agency and @Katieperezauthor for the gifted ARC in exchange for an honest review.
