This was a unexpected gem of a book I really fell in love it.
It has single-dad (from a bad marriage), age gap and father's best friend (which I thought will bother me but their love was too beautiful), role playing, forbidden romance.

The spicy scene were so freaking good, he likes to give her pleasure and edging 🌶️ and lives for it! 
I was constantly emotional for their raw love and hot&bothered for their steamy and passionate sex scenes. 

I'm not usually a age gap reader, but here I didn't mind it because their connection overruled everything. And character developments were good, dealing with mental health etc. 

Narration was crazy good, the male narrator just melted me🫠🫠 and female one was great to listen too. 

Quotes: 
"We kept falling into each other."
"It's a kiss that makes me feel a little lost and a little found."

Overall: it was such a good find and I loved it so much by the end of it.. The narrators made it a tad bit difficult to listen to this in public with the 🔥 scenes xD
