A nice inclusive romance 🫶🏻
As a fellow chronic illness survivor (no, I do not like the term "warrior") and disabled woman this just felt good. Her disability was never the issue of the story. It was just as much a part of her in the story as her doctor's degree. It's refreshing after seeing all these movies and books about this "poor disabled woman/guy" struggling with everything and then finding the only good thing in their lives in the form of a love interest. Definitely a recommendation for anyone looking for a feel-good, spicy(!!), inclusive romance! ^^

Knot My Type is a charming and lighthearted contemporary romance that will make you swoon and smile. The witty banter between loveable characters and the sweet, slow-burn romance make this book a delightful and enjoyable read.

Books are a fantastic way to be able to explore new things in a safe, accessible, and non-committal way. Shibari and rope play has never been super high on my list of "kinks I'd like to explore," but reading about someone else's exploration into learning more about it gave me at least a bit more insight into the overall appeal of the scene from the comfort of my own car (since I mostly listen to audiobooks on my work commute).
I loved Frankie's openness and efforts to talk things through as openly and honestly with Jay from day one. Jay took her refreshing candor in stride and did his best to match her, and pretty darn well for someone with as rocky an emotional past as he had (from growing up in the foster system to the ex who absolutely gutted him). I appreciated Frankie's friends, all of whom are truly ride-or-die for each other in the best of ways. I look forward to reading their books in the rest of the All Access series.
Overall, as a non-disabled reader, the focus on Frankie's capabilities as a woman in a wheelchair was enlightening and just really cool to read. The accessible adaptations to the things I take for granted as an able-bodied person were interesting and never really focused on in a way that fetishized or glamourized her life in a wheelchair, but instead just told it like it is and the things that make up her everyday life. And I appreciated when she called Jay out for his ableist thinking, which also called me out as a reader to rethink my assumptions!

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.

Sorely disappointed that there was only like one explicit bonding scene. Don't half ass a bdsm book PLEASE. But there were 4 explicit scenes so I guess fine.
I really enjoyed the character relationships and the straightforward manner of the main characters. I love a broken man like no other and homeboy in this book was b r o k e n. But MC kissed it better so all good. Super cute and really dramatic in all the right ways.
Can't wait to get to the rest of the All Access books!

Conceptually, I loved this. Frankie was a great character (even if her initials were FUCK). I think I enjoyed this more for the smut and the insight into accessibility - besides Frankie and the occasional appearance of a secondary character, I didn't love Jay at all. He reminded me a lot of a frat boy type of guy, which wasn't what I was expecting. I also wasn't a huge fan of the writing style, it had me cringing in some places and wanting to put the book down. It's short, which made it easier to get through I suppose!
