One day I'll learn to not be sucked into the hype of a book and let that factor into my desire to read it, because I am always inevitably disappointed. While I enjoyed this one more than the last overly hyped book I read, it was still just okay. I wasn't overwhelmed by it by any means though.

That said I did appreciate the positive light it shed on sex workers. For that alone it deserves recognition because it does good work in that regard. Because I don't feel that they should be pariahs of society especially if it is not something that is forced on them and that they enjoy doing. I also appreciate how it treated sexual pleasure and needing to know what your partner likes to ensure that it is beneficial for all partners involved.

The sex scenes are sufficiently steamy so its also good in that regard. The story itself is fairly generic and at some point it seemed rushed after a lot of build up. The last chapter seemed tacked on as well to end it with an HEA rather than an HFN. And while I do prefer HEAs over HFNs I also like them to be less 'neat' if that makes sense.

Overall, this wasn't it for me but I will admit that a lot of that has to do with going in with high expectations of the book. I should have tempered that and not repeated the mistakes of the past. I'm glad it has brought others so much joy but it wasn't one of those for me. It was a just okay book.
