headinthepages's review against another edition
fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
3.25
I really liked the romance and the steamy scenes overall in this, and thought the plot was interesting but there were times the romance/relationship felt a little rushed (2months passing with barely a mention) and a little superficial sometimes.
I wanted more scene setting and more details and though I appreciate that the book is short & sweet and isn’t over done, I think it would have benefited from some elements being fleshed out a bit more.
Overall an enjoyable read and I’ll definitely read this author again, I just wanted a little more at times.

Is everybody saying the cover of this book???
Open representation of physical disability, not just as a side character, not just as a plot device, not just as a mention in a sideline.
But on the friggin cover!!
Was this the main reason I read this book, and more of Evie Mitchell’s writing. Yes!
Am I glad I did? Yes!
This is an emotionally intelligent romance book.
Following Dr Frankie (yes that’s right, she’s a damn doctor of sexology) who runs with all access podcast about sexuality, sexual desire, communication and access to all things sex.
She needs a little help in the discussion of ropes and kink. So goes to her local source for all things tied, Jay.
A guy she used to go to school with.What follows is an instant attraction, but Jay doesn’t do relationships, and Frankie doesn’t do flings.
They start explore the boundaries of a relationship, emotional, physical and sexual.
What follows is an intelligent look at trust and moving on from bad experiences.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Being physically disabled myself, I could relate to some of the conversations between Frankie and Jay. Concerning attitudes and etiquette of sex.
Knowing your worth, I’m not being used.
Evie Mitchell has written a fully rounded and extremely enjoyable book.
