“You fucking dazzle me, Landon.”

So cute!!!! I love how this author writes opposite MC’s. like both Casey and Landon had such different personalities, vibes, and physical appearance. But when they came together it was chefs kiss.

Casey loved people, always chatty? And Landon was quiet and didn’t like to be touched. But even though Casey was a touchy feely guy, he immediately saw that unspoken boundary. The two MC’s immediately just GOT the other person. I loved it.

I loved that it was spicy without actual full on sex. There was like all the foreplay and various jobs, but they found ways to be sexual and intimate without the actual penetration of it. And Casey was a reformed bi player versus Landon being a virgin unsure of his sexuality label. They just kind of went with what felt right and I loved that
