I love everything about this book...not much else to say!
I am obsessed with the characters, the plot, and the development that occurs throughout the story. I originally thought that it would be an "all smut/vibes no plot" kind of book but boy, I was MAJORLY wrong. the spice honestly takes a backseat to the amazing and heartwarming character development of both Grace and Carson. By the end of the story, I felt like I truly knew these characters IRL and felt proud of them many times for the changes they made to their lives.
I loved this book so much that I made my boyfriend buy me every Mia Sheridan book my local Walmart had to offer before I was even finished lol. 1000/10 stars.

I can already tell this is going to be an unpopular review, but there were so many red flags in this one y’all I really couldn’t get past it 🚩🥴
I’ve heard amazing things about mia sheridan’s book, and I still will pick up more of hers, but the characters in this one just didn’t work for me at all. I loved the concept of a male dancer meeting a lawyer and immediately hitting it off, but their back stories were walking red flags - and I’m a firm believer that these two are not a long term couple.
the triggers for me, including sexual assault and forced pregnancy, was too much - and I wish I had known that going in, to be honest. if you’re going to force a minor to keep a baby that she clearly doesn’t want, that’s just … not a good plot point to embellish and romanticize, sorry.
ANYWAY, I’ve seen rave reviews on this one, and while a part of me is screaming “did we read the same book” I can understand that the chemistry was hot and the lead up before the drama was veryyyyy intriguing …
I’m also chalking this up to my very meh june so far oops
thank you to netgalley and the publisher for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review!!
