I want a bit more yearning, especially with Jasper discovering new feelings (even thought they're not really new and he was 24 and being attracted to an 18 year old,,,?)
but once the physical intimacy started I was so disappointed.
beau randomly disappearing was weird as hell
if i have to hear Willa say "You should bang him" again, i'll have to commit a war crime

I’m not usually a fan of friends to lovers but the tension in this was sooooo good. Those hotel scenes were so hot 🥵 Jasper Gervais is just all round yum even if he is traumatised and emotionally stunted (but that the way we like them really)
I also absolutely adore Harvey - he’s an icon and is always eager to provide some much needed comic relief and i’m hoping he gets his own HEA at some point.
Anyway, some of my fav lines from the book include:
•
•
•
Also some spoiler-y tropes:
• Friends to lovers
• Runaway bride
• There was only one bed
• Cowboy (kinda) x ballerina

If you’re not big into explicit details, I’m not sure Elsie Silver is the author for you at this point. I’m not the biggest fan but I’ve learned Chapters 20-25 are the ones with the nitty gritty and if I’m not feeling it I can skim or skip.
Other than that, my only wish was that Sloane’s identity that was portrayed in this book was less centered on a good man rewriting bad men’s wrongs and more about her regaining her confidence herself. I understand it’s important to the story to have Jasper’s support and inspiration to stand up to bullies, but I also think there could have been more focus on Sloane and her transformation as a woman without feeling at times like she only had the confidence to do so because she had another man behind her… telling her what to do…
