I really enjoyed reading Cooper and Penny's story. A fair bit naughtier than James and Bex's story, but Cooper is also so sweet!

This book was quite steamy! Just the way I like romance, but also dealt with past trauma and mental health. It was a great balance of serious, funny, and spicy! Though a bit on the sad side at times for a college romance.
Overall, an excellent book.
Narrator(s) Ratings: 5 stars
Both narrators did an amazing job.

The toxic relationship, emotional abuse, and gaslighting are not in the main romantic relationship but with some of the MC's family members.ambercunningham's review against another edition

Cooper is a big teddy bear. Penny is sweet until you mess with her and then she will burn you.
Does Richard hate all his kids? Had issues with James and now has issues with Cooper, and drives him to his toxic uncle. The toxic uncle storyline felt kind of slapped on.
Sandra is still 10/10 and enjoyed getting some Bex & James scenes.
Handled revenge porn/nonconsensual pornography well and Cooper was so patient and loving.
I'm pretty sure based off the last line of the book that Book #3 will be all about Seb & Mia getting together...

What I can tell you is that I LOVE this couple. I absolutely loved Penny, maybe even more than I liked Bex from book #1. Cooper is probably my favorite Callahan brother out of the two I've read so far but maybe Seb will take the crown, who knows lol.
But in all seriousness, I think I would've rated this higher if I hadn't reached a point in the book where I was tired of reading the smut π HOWEVER, i am on the asexual spectrum so reading too much smut at one time can get overwhelming for me. Overall, I did really like this book, even if I'm having a hard time with thoughts rn.
