This was veryyyyy long, longer than it needed to be. A lot of spice, as in frequency. It is dual pov but I felt it was a little off balance as we got mostly Sloane's POV and I would've liked to get more of Dominic. The ending was cute but just took too long to get there the middle dragged a lot.

5/5🌶️

I adored this book, it was very spicy and I couldn’t put it down, often finding myself engulfed in the novel at 4am. I thoroughly enjoyed the storyline, the characters were insufferable but I still cared for them and found myself rooting for them by the end. The writing at times would take me out of it though, I found nicknames, physical descriptions, and emotional explanations to be overused art times. There were also certain conflicts that didn’t make sense to me but I bypassed because this is a romance after all. I also found myself being extremely upset with certain characters for the simple fact that they lacked basic communication skills that would’ve inevitably solved all of their problems. All in all, I was very entertained by this novel, Seegar’s unintentionally swept me off my feet with Restore Me. I’m feverishly recommending her work to my friends at the moment. I’ll definitely tune into the sequel plans to write.

There’s a joke/comment about diabetes that happens once in the book, hence the ableism CW.
