I binged this book so quickly OMG.

Cooper and Penny were such an open and understanding couple, they never belittled the other, they respected each other and gave space when it was needed, they communicated to each other their wants in and out of the bedroom. They are the blueprint that every good relationship needs to follow.

I loved every second of this book, it was fast paced and told even more of the Callahan families story that I cannot wait to continue in the next books. I don't think I'll ever be able to fully describe just how much I love these characters and their little quirks.

I enjoyed seeing James and Bex from book one again and loved that Sebastian's love interest has already been introduced and that we got to see her on multiple occassions.

Grace Reilly's writing is so easy to fall into and keep reading without even realising times passing. Highly recommend this series but please look up trigger warnings for this book as it does touch on some heavy topics that I don't want to spoil here.

This book is a very very good read. If you like romance and spicy books this book will be for you. The way the plot is written and the way the characters are portrayed is just immaculate. This book isnt one you just forget and I can now say that Grace Reilly is now one of my favourite authors, I will be reading her other books about these characters in this book.

That was such a healthy relationship wow. Amazing. Could've been shorter tho. But at least it wasn't tortuously long.

I’m very conflicted on this one. I really liked both Cooper and Penny, even if their dialogue was a bit cringe at points, but I didn’t love the whole addict uncle side plot.

Spoiler

Idk man, I just feel like making the addict the villain is very outdated and pretty offensive honestly.

Otherwise, I liked it enough, and the spicy scenes were fun and plentiful.

This was SPICEY for not being a pure smut book. I enjoyed the story a lot, really liked the characters. Nothing felt forced or weird. Even with The List, our FMC’s inexperience didn’t feel fetishized. Our MMC has a possessiveness that wasn’t overbearing or gross.
