Very glad I discovered Jennifer Ashley! She’s a fantastic writer and also writes EXTREMELY HOT love scenes. 🌶️🌶️🌶️
There was a lot going on in this book, like almost soap-opera-level dramatic occurrences, yet it never felt OTT or campy, which shows what a good writer she is. I think she could have cut one of them out, so I took a half star off for that.
Mac and Isabella felt fully realized and human, with scorching chemistry and a real depth of feeling. Mac would have driven me nuts with his attentiveness/smothering, but then I am a person who very much likes her time alone.
Bonus: Ian made a number of appearances, which was more than welcome.
