The amount of what I knew about circus life, acrobatics, or straps could be encompassed in one very short sentence. This book, however, had me googling the shit out of what it all meant so I could really be involved in the story. It was so good! And the fact that this is a debut book? GTFOH. Gia, Lyot, and Gale were the perfect mix of broken bits that created a stronger whole. The sex was hot af, and once the relationship was more delineated, really spoke to the "rightness" of the overall dynamic. I will definitely be reading future books from this author. ❤️
