This was a unexpected gem of a book I really fell in love it.
It has single-dad (from a bad marriage), age gap and father's best friend (which I thought will bother me but their love was too beautiful), role playing, forbidden romance.

The spicy scene were so freaking good, he likes to give her pleasure and edging 🌶️ and lives for it!
I was constantly emotional for their raw love and hot&bothered for their steamy and passionate sex scenes.

I'm not usually a age gap reader, but here I didn't mind it because their connection overruled everything. And character developments were good, dealing with mental health etc.

Narration was crazy good, the male narrator just melted me🫠🫠 and female one was great to listen too.

Quotes:
"We kept falling into each other."
"It's a kiss that makes me feel a little lost and a little found."

Overall: it was such a good find and I loved it so much by the end of it.. The narrators made it a tad bit difficult to listen to this in public with the 🔥 scenes xD

I was not ready for tears. No one told me there would be tears (not between the couple but because of what Jules has been through) speaking of what Jules has been through, I feel like she forgave her father way too quickly for the amount of emotional trauma she had. It was still a good read and definitely recommend if you’re into roleplaying.
