I really enjoyed reading this and binged through it. I thought the swimming setting was fresh (I swam competitively for years but know nothing about diving) and the characters were unique and engaging too.

Lukas was one of the sexiest love interests I have read, and not just because he is an olympic swimmer. He is thoughtful, attentive, and so incredibly respectful. Scarlet had flaws of course (requirement for a romance MC) but they worked to be important to the plot instead of just being superficial and annoying.

I was a bit underwhelmed by the kink, though. It was barely a toe outside of vanilla, and I think the average mm open door is about the same level. Still, it was all presented respectfully and educates about the power dynamics in a dom/sub couple.
