This was a classic case of:
Read a book by an author you like, without reading the blurb up front.
I laughed a lot while reading this one, and I picked it up at the most definitely best moment.
Rome is one of the ‘Nice Guys’ and doesn’t luck out in the dating department. Even with help of his BFF.
He’s also pining for Daniel, who’s already taken by one of “the jerks”
At one day, Rome flips and turns to a Jerk himself.
I enjoyed the whole concept, the reflection &redemption and also the slow burning relationship development. (While it’s not a super long book we have a 1yr time jump inbetween)
I loved all the Side Characters, I might’ve wanted to read a book about two of them specifically. But that’s bc I loved the kinky side 🫢

If you don’t know if a book might be something for you:
Read reviews, ask questions and be a responsible adult.
