This was veryyyyy long, longer than it needed to be. A lot of spice, as in frequency. It is dual pov but I felt it was a little off balance as we got mostly Sloane's POV and I would've liked to get more of Dominic. The ending was cute but just took too long to get there the middle dragged a lot.

5/5🌶️

I liked the characters and the plot of this story a lot. I really appreciated how it tackled grief as well as the mental and emotional toll of an abusive/narcissistic parent. The spice was really good and the chemistry between Dominic and Sloan was top tier. 

My only complaint is that the book was way too long. So much of its length is made up of these wordy inner monologues that sometimes last whole pages when they could’ve been condensed to a few sentences, maximum. That made it really tough to push through at times.
