 I randomly discovered this book because Bookaholic Book Box is doing a SE and I had never heard of this author. The premise sounded intriguing, so I gave it a try and absolutely LOVED it! This is not a particularly involved or deep plot, but the psychology and respectful treatment of victims of s*x trafficking was so, so well done that I just fell in love with it. Daniel is a dream of a MMC, and he made me melt with his earnest, tender, gentleness with Hanna.

Random notes to help me remember:

❤️Daniel Daniel Daniel. I want him.

❤️Age gap that is NOT gross, it does not feel predatory at all in any way (26 to 40)

❤️Found family/bromance dynamic is really, really good. I love these guys!

 ❤️ Friends with benefits that really works

🤨The Voyeur live p*** club is certainly a choice as a foundation for an intense and emotional romance ARC about s*x trafficking. While certainly adding another layer of eroticism to the story, it took away from the intimacy between the MCs for me, because it wasn't needed. It was like that way-too-sweet dollop of dense milk chocolate ganache on top of the piece of delicate, soft chocolate mousse cheesecake.
