This is one of the most well written romance books I’ve read in such a long time. The authors writing is phenomenal, not even to get into the story itself. So good I’m about to go binge read all her other works.
Anywayyyy, this story is about a forbidden age gap romance because a coach and a fighter. There is an instant pull between the two of them and as they get to know each other they can’t get enough of each other, in all ways.
The story is great, the writing is phenomenal, and there are parts that will make you laugh, possibly cry, and maybe squeeze your legs together.

🌶️🌶️🌶️ 3/5
Well written like the rest of the book and lets us see another side of the MCM.

Way too much slang throughout the entire book. The spicy scenes were too short and not detailed enough. Forced myself to finish
