Don’t take my 3 star review as a sign to skip this book. 

I really did love it, I devoured it as a guilty pleasure, well maybe not that guilty 😅😂 and it kept me absolutely hooked from start to finish. Honestly I thought it was going to be a bit of a faster burn, but it felt like a slow burn in the first 200 pages for me (which I love). 

Yesssssss it’s spicy for the smut lovers, yes there’s an age gap, BUT i will say Douglas does a really good job of playing the story out and the morality in question is pondered many many times. It didn’t feel weird is what I’m trying to say. This was a hot one for my standards. 50/50 smut plot ratio. 

All I can say is: Daddy Pike. 
If you like contemporary forbidden romance, this one felt cozy.
