This book was a surprise to me, I was expecting a fluffy read and instead got a book that talks about dislexia, found family in friends, slow simmering burn, and health issues with endometriosis. The spice is locked door, they go from friends to lovers, and he is THE bear. The story is about the best friend's brother who she's crushed over for years, he moves in with her when he needs a place to stay and then they become more than friends. I loved the gradual transition Dylan had from seeing her as a friend of his sister to a woman. I absolutely adored how he helped Hunter during her painful periods. I only wish the slow simmer would've been shorter and spend more time on the relationship, the ending felt rushed trying to tie all plotlines. 
If you are a fan of friends to lovers, best friend's sibling, slow simmer with no spice, or fade to black spice, this book is for you.
