This is a great book and super fun for what it is, which is really quick flashes of smut. You’re not going to find any plot here, just some fast spicey scenes. Loved reading this during the holidays as a fun little mental break, but it almost did too good of a job? I found myself wanting to hear more about a few of these characters, but the stories just end and I was a little bummed about it. Regardless, definitely recommend this if you’re looking for a quick holiday read with some 🌶️🌶️🌶️
