Reviews with content warning for Gaslighting - For the Fans

From start to finish I could not get enough of Avi and Ky! They consumed entirely and I could not put this book down.

Nyla really poured herself into this book and it shows. Everything is so passionate and so real.

Avi and Ky's love is that kind of love we all search for. The kind that is supporting, real, passionate, and unconditional.

This book really was incredible to me!

There was quite a few things that I liked about this story but overall it tanked.

I almost DNF 3 times. At times, I wasn’t really enjoying the narration of narrator for Avi. The sex scenes were VERY talkative and they really didn’t need to be.

While there was mention of religion throughout the book; I ultimately took half a star off because in chapter 30 it feels like the author started preaching through one of three characters. 🤮🤮

In another chapter later on.. same thing but with another character.

Meh…

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!
