4.0

I absolutely adored this book. And the action was NONSTOP. I’ll write a more in depth review later but initial thoughts are:
• I agree with everyone who says this book is therapeutic, and delivered powerful messages, somehow impossibly delivered in a super entertaining romance novel filled to the brim with spice. 
• I often feel that dual-POV novels fall short but I really enjoyed this one!! You really get to know and understand the characters and their motivations, and intentions quite deeply. 
• I was impressed by the bedroom sessions. I absolutely adore the characters and everything was so unapologetically real. 🌶️🌶️🌶️/5 
• Well written, you’re thrown back to back layered drama and interwoven characters but somehow the author manages to keep it from being overwhelming or difficult to follow. 

Critique
The build up to the third act break up was odd. I could feel it coming, and was disappointed because I felt like the mains were acting very out of character which made it feel almost forced. But arguably I know in relationships things get a little rocky after the honeymoon phase. Thankfully, this was only an issue for a couple pages then I felt the characters returned to their usual demeanor.
