Overall reco: How in the fucking hell have I never read Sloane St James before? How did I not even know this name until This book started slamming all over my socials? I loved this book. The chemistry was lovely, the banter between them, even when fighting, was absolutely top notch. Cal is great and all but Scottie is my girl. I love her, I want to BE her and not just because she's got Cal hanging around. Girl is a BAMF.
The spice was very crisp, very spicy. VERY detailed. If you are not into pages of it then fair warning.. these two have stamina.
Beyond that I could really feel the characters in the story. The author did a great job of making events and moment very real. When Scottie was
in the tower and eventually in the dark I had no trouble believing how she was behaving because of the events earlier.
That whole event felt very natural and real and not like how I've seen it sometimes in other forms of media. It's cliche but thats not bad, you can do cliche well THAT is the trick.
Overall I'm going to immediately read the next in the series and then when I finish this I might just jump to her hockey series (THAT I ALSO HAD NO IDEA ABOUT?!) instead of my other plans. So. yeah!
