OH MY GOSH! I LOVE THIS BOOK SO MUCH! Seriously. This might be my favourite book I've read this year.
This also has one of the only acceptable uses of a NDA in a romance-y story that I would find acceptable. The NDA had nothing to do with the relationship itself (looking at you 50 shades) but instead had to do with the guy's business and not talking about the inner workings of his business (which is a very reasonable thing).
But oh my gosh. Both the characters! They're so sickenly sweet together it makes me want to throw up a little (but that's not bad! On the contrary it's good). They felt more realistic than most millionaire love stories I've read.
And him asking if it was ok to do things to/with her! I melted a little at that. That added on an extra level of "OMG I WANT THIS KIND OF PARTNER" for me. Consent culture and safewords added in I can't think of anything sexier.
I didn't like how short this was. But I'm very excited about the fact that she's working on a second book. I can't tell you how much I NEED more about Kayla.
I didn't care much for her roommate's attitude towards her boyfriend because that's a very douchey attitude but I like how it was resolved.
I honestly can't recommend this book or author enough. She has wonderfully developed characters most of whom aren't white. And her characters are multi faceted as well as diverse in their sexual/romantic preferences. It's hard for me not to love her.
If you haven't bought this book, go buy it. Best decision you'll make this year in my honest opinion.

This was a cute, light little read. I liked that it was relatively drama free until towards the end and was mostly a gentle exploration of this new, budding relationship.
I liked Kayla, the main character. I felt a lot of her decisions were sensible and realistic, and I had a lot of empathy for her and her concerns about the relationship. Michael was a sweet love interest - his care for her and ensuring she is comfortable with their arrangement was nice and very well-done. Their relationship was good. It moves quite quickly, but they had good, solid chemistry and I liked that there was very little will-they-won’t-they. Also, they both actually talk to one another when they have a problem. The whole relationship is handled very maturely from start to finish. There are proper discussions about problems that might arise before they happen, and I appreciated that the book didn’t skip over them.
I also liked that the book didn’t dismiss
I had a couple of issues with it. The first is quite minor, but early on, I didn’t really see why Ruben had to be present for so much of their early negotiations. I got that he was a major part of Michael’s life and would accidentally learn stuff that was going on, but it felt a bit weird that he was there with them when they were talking about terms and conditions etc..
Finally, I found the writing a bit dry and stilted sometimes. There were a lot of short sentences and a lot of writing that fell into the structure of “this happened, then this happened, then this person said this, then we did this”. It just got a bit repetitive, especially as the story went on.
Overall, it was quite a simple and easy to read book, and was fun as well. It was pure escapism.
I would recommend it if you want a cute, simple fluffy story with a sugar baby relationship.

Adler’s actions towards Michael. The fact that she touched his crotch is treated with the same severity as if it had happened to Kayla, and I thought that was good.I had a couple of issues with it.

I don’t really fuck with billionaires and I don’t think ethical ones exist, but I had a lot of fun with this steamy novella and I support sugar babies / sex workers. There were two typos in my ebook, but that didn’t ruin the reading experience for me. I mostly just blushed and giggled as Kayla fell in love with her “sweet” man 🥹
Steam rating: 4 out of 5

There is a bit too much insta-love for my liking, plus I never really felt the connection between Kayla and Michael. Maybe there was too much telling and not enough showing, because aside from them being sexually compatible, I didn't see anything else between them.
I did like Kayla though, and I think a story about her and her family (her mom during the too-short Skype scene was pretty funny), would have probably been more interesting to me than the story we got.
Still, if you need something quick and cute to read, you could do a lot worse than this book.

This was a quick, super cute, exciting story. I can’t wait to find out what happens in the second book.
