I enjoyed this one as well but heads up that it's a bit different than the other two. The leads are in a BDSM arrangement before they find out they work together at her new job (and he's the boss's son), and end up keeping that up while they both develop feelings outside of their scenes as well. Plus, the FMC has dealt with a lot of familial loss in her time, and the immediate family she has left doesn't love her like they should. They're mad she left Mormonism and even before that they put her through (and continue to now at 27) religious trauma, shame, and blame after she's sexually assaulted in high school by an older man in the church. Her cousins are her true family, along with her found family of her best friend and their other queer friends. Emma's also has dealt with depression and anxiety (largely ignored by her family growing up) and most likely is autistic. (Sidebar, there's a line about her type of neurodivergence not being the really smart and good at math kind but rather the shudders at velvet, etc. kind because it's the devil's material and oh my word ME). Ben is grumpy, keeps to himself other than his close immediate family, just does his work and occasionally goes to the club to find release as a Dom. I appreciated how even when he was trying to keep it business, he listened and paid attention to her, and later was there when she needed him and stood up to her family when they go back to Utah for her grandpa's funeral. I very much like Emma as a character, the good and the "bad", and it breaks my heart a little that I know so much of her story comes from the author's own experiences. It was fun seeing Elli & Wes, and Hannah & Morgan again, and getting to know cousin Talmage more, especially since I think his book is next. This book did have two of my least fave pet names but within their context they didn't bother me as much as usual.
