The way the author transitions from past to present is done so smoothly. What I also love is how she provides the FMC's point of view and then revisits the same scene from the MMC's perspective in certain situations. Another thing I appreciate is that the jumps to the past aren't scattered throughout the entire book; they simply fill in the backstory of how the story began, as introduced in Chapter 1. There is some character development with the MMC, but the real growth is seen in the FMC. This was so well-written, and the spicy scenes definitely hits.
