A steamy and emotional, but surprisingly profound story of love and healing, especially after surviving sexual abuse. None of the abuse is described in detail, but the characters explore what it means to build a future that isn't defined by the past. Their relationship to each other is stunning and so healthy and loving. It's amazing. I found it really cathartic and also just so sweet (and very sexy!)

I’m not surprised that I ended up enjoying this instalment in Seducing the Sedgwicks. This series is quickly becoming a comfort read of mine. I really appreciated that in this one, Sebastian didn’t shy away from the trauma and racism that the two main characters experienced. Also, ALL the characters felt wonderfully real. I particularly loved the sibling relationship between Hartley and Will. Finally, there was more of a plot in this book than in It Takes Two To Tumble, which I liked. My one criticism is that Sam deserved more of a character arc.
