Someone You Deserve by Harlow James
4.25
please note that the trigger warnings and topes/themes may contain spoilers
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
HEA: HFN, cliffhanger for next book
POV: dual 1st person
spice: a few open-door spicy scenes
TWs: cancer, car accident (nonfatal), death of a parent, death of a spouse, divorce, grief, marines (recounted, side character), parental abandonment
Kinky Content: dirty talk, fingering, food play (frosting), f*ck it moment, mirror sex, oral, praise
standalone: book 2 in the Carrington Cove series
final thoughts: I love how obsessed Penn is with Astrid!! He was sweetly there for her for whatever she needed, however she needed him for years- as a friend, as a grief partner, as a pseudo-co parent- until one day he decides he canβt hold his feelings back anymore and makes his feelings known. I love how much he loved her kids as if they were his own and was so respectful towards them while making sure everyone knew his family was his priority. Such a swoony sweet MMC with a secret dirty mouth.
Another great addition to the Carrington Cove world, I canβt wait to see what happens next! π
