This book is absolutely beautiful and wholesome, it definitely got me outta my reading slump. Theres so much I could discuss about this book, it was absolutely perfect. The way everything tied in together at the end made me smile, giggle, teary and squeal Wes and Britta are just wonderful (literally cannot stop thinking abt the Bubs nickname)

Even though I gave this book five stars I will say, I wish the structure for some chapters were different in terms of how short some scenes were. But that was something I was able to overlook bc of how beautiful the writing was

This was such a great read with great writing and smut! I feel like truth or dare has that kinda cohesiveness that I always craved from short stories, it kept me invested with the characters. The steaminess especially was so good. I think I’m in love with Kingston

This book really tested my tolerance for dark romances, because it was my first time reading a romance with cnc and dubcon elements so I was really pushing through figuring out how redeemable Noah’s character would be. I still don’t know what to think but ultimately I enjoyed reading this book and the couple. I found myself wanting them to be together despite how horrible Noah is, somehow I understood why and how they complimented one another - at least they both realised this  had something to do with their own trauma
