I really liked this! Not gonna lie, I didn't realize how ~spicy~ it would be, but I'm not complaining. I liked how the author didn't just rush through things with easy solutions that we so often allow in romance novels, and instead made things as healthy and realistic as possible. I'll definitely be reading the next one in the series!
