I loved this book. From the very beginning I loved Avi as a character. He's just so fun and carefree and no matter what Kyran did or said to him he always encouraged and helped Kyran when he needed him.
I also loved Kyran from very early in the book. It took a little bit to really get his character and that he was struggling with something that made him act and do the things he was doing.
What happened when Kyran was 12 was absolutely horrible. And his parents were wrong for putting the blame on him for what happened instead of the adult man that abused Kyran. And even after other kids had come forward, Kyran's parents still did nothing and told him to push down his feelings and forget about it. I will say Kyran's dad does have a small redemption towards the end and actually tries to make his relationship with Kyran better.
I absolutely loved Kyran and Avi together. I loved the way they got together as well. It was fun reading a story about two people doing onlyfans for money after their family's business goes under and they have to give a way to pay for college. Avi starting out solo then agreeing to a collaboration with his best friend that involves Kyran. I loved seeing his and Kyran's relationship over the course of doing videos for the fans and how it evolved from supposed hate into mutual love for each other. The two of them have absolutely incredible chemistry. I'm really happy that Kyran found his safe space with Avi.
There's so much I could say about this but a lot of it would be spoiling it so I'll leave it there. But I would absolutely recommend this book.

I wish I could rate this higher than 5 stars. The connection and genuine LOVE Avi and Kyran posses for each other is absolutely unmatched. This is by far the best book I have read in recent history.
I never understood what people meant when they said “I miss them” in reference to a couple in a romance book/story… but I understand now. These two will stick with me for sure.
If you have any doubts, don’t. Read. The. Book. and don’t even get me started on the SPICE….. 🥵 Hottest book Ive ever read, and that’s saying something.
If you’ve yet to read an MM romance, this will spark a love you’d never thought you’d have. So much love for Kyvi, and thank you Nyla for sharing them with us 🖤

Spice: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 - undergarments melted…😳
It’s been like 4 or 5 days and I still can’t get my words right for this review. So if this turns into rambling just know it’s for a good reason.
First things first - I’ll admit I haven’t found a book by Nyla that I don’t love. That’s because each one is so different from the rest of her work yet you still get the same level of experience from them all. Nyla lets these characters run wild in her head and then hands her readers their story in its most authentic form. You never have to worry about one of her books being watered down so it’s easier to consume. And thank god for that because this story here wouldn’t have been the same if it was.
She gave us two guys who are complete opposites in every possible way yet fit together so perfectly and no other person on the planet could complete them. The farther you get into the book the more you’ll see why. They are the poster boys for that fine line between love and hate.
And. It. Is. Delicious.
The way they interact with each other, even later on in the story, is always charged with sexual tension. So between the constant picking on each other and the intense attraction, they are feeling you get this interesting mix of slow and fast burn that is overflowing with some of the best banter I’ve ever read. Take the whole damn plot and throw it away and I could literally just sit and read a book of nothing but them bickering back and forth and be happy. 🤣
Thankfully we don’t have to throw the whole plot out though because it’s a really good plot. OnlyFans is still constantly growing in popularity and this was one of the first books that I personally saw centering the plot around it. But it’s not just a book about two guys doing OF to make money. It’s about so much more than that. It’s about two people finding themselves because of choices they made due to the circumstances they were put in. And then in finding themselves… they found each other. 🥰
They were exactly what the other needed at a time when they didn’t even know they needed it. A push to accept and love yourself for who you are and to stop feeling unworthy. The strength to face your demons and finally heal a piece of your soul that’s been slowly eating away at you for so long. Whether it’s being there to open the door and let the other in or trusting the other enough to let go of control and allow the walls to come down these boys have found a safe space within their love. It is so touching and full of emotions that I was legit sobbing (both sad and happy tears for the record) the entire last 20-30% of the book. Sometimes that meant switching from sad to laughing in less than a paragraph lol. But would it really be a Nyla K book if that wasn’t the case?
Speaking of things you’d expect from a Nyla book - you already know she is not going to let you down when it comes to the spice! WHEW! I don’t know what she puts in her cup each day while writing but it has to be infused with something hotter than lava because that’s the only kind of spicy scene in this book! Doesn’t matter where they are or who’s around none of it is off-limits. Showers, cars, locker rooms, MF FaceTime… these guys take full advantage!! I can without a doubt give three at minimum that will forever live rent-free in my head from this day forward. She said it was hotter than Push - I didn’t believe her - I was wrong. 😳
Sorry, Ben & Ryan. 😬 (Don’t worry they still hold the crown for the top “scene” ever overall! 😉)
Well ok… that all came out better than I expected it to I think. So, I’m going to leave you with this, read the TWs if you’re someone who generally needs them but if not then skip it and dive right in. While there is sensitive content within the story the worst of it 𝙄𝙣 𝙈𝙮 𝙊𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙤𝙣 is not described in detail/happens off-page. But it absolutely is a must-read. Avi and Kyran will own a piece of your heart after you finish it and it’s so worth it!
