This book is a cute and spicy read with a hood plot line. The spice should be expected considering Cassie used to make money on OnlyFans to support her during grad school. I love that clips of the OnlyFans conversations are included between chapters! It really adds to the depth of the story. Cassie is a really cute and strong character. She’s (mostly) confident and even though she’s experienced neglect/trauma, she doesn’t dwell on it. Aiden is a great MMC who is also a chef?! Side note - how does he seriously make so much money as a chef???? His daughter is adorable and isn’t used as a prop in the story. She has her own personality besides being a cute child. Cassie and Aiden have excellent banter and great chemistry. Wanda is an amazing side character and I loved the glimpses of her story. Iris took away from the story and I know she was a source of conflict for the book, but she always had a really abrupt changes. It didn’t feel like she was as fully developed as other characters. The 4th act breakup was not my favorite and I felt the romance could’ve had a little bit more buildup. It happened rather quickly and I wanted a little more depth to the relationship first. Overall, I still loved the book and flew through reading it! 4⭐️, 3.5🌶
