I don't read a lot of contemporary, but saw a review describing how the hero is all-in for the heroine from the very beginning so picked it up. I really enjoyed this book!
It's told in dual first-person PoV, and the way Michaels wrote Trey's thoughts, especially during the explicit scenes (which involve were phenomenal. He is so focused on how wonderful and beautiful he thinks she is the entire time.
Erin's PoVs were equally engaging as she works through her own insecurities and fear to let him into her heart. She doesn't want to feel because she's been in survival mode for so long that shutting those parts of her down were her way of coping. I also enjoyed her brother (hero from book 1 that I haven't read) and their relationship. Refreshing to read a side character who is supportive and protective of both the MCs.
Would recommend to people looking for a more down-to-earth kinky book, with a hero who unwaveringly supports the heroine and healthy family relationships.
