Another banger by Navessa Allen! While I didn’t care as much about the plotline of this one (just not a huge mafia romance girly), I absolutely loved the focus on SW and showing it in both a positive and realistic light. I felt there was a really powerful message about pleasure for pleasures sake, and the validity of seeking pleasure in whatever form works for you!

Lauren and Junior were physically great together - Navessa Allen writes such amazing banter, and the spice was SPICYYY. I felt like a lot of their relationship was focused on the physical though, and I didn't really buy into their love story much. I also felt like the mob stuff and Junior trying to leave was glossed over a bit - it didn't feel realistic, and felt like it all wrapped up a bit too easily.

This book also felt less taboo than the first - while there were elements of stalking that we saw in the first, it was nowhere near the same level. But still be sure to read trigger warnings! Still a super fun read, and the audiobook was amazing, but if you're going into it expecting the same vibes as Lights Out, you may be disappointed!
