Short and steamy.

As usual, I love how Rebecca Rathe likes to mix things up and not follow usual stereotypes. This is a best friend’s dad romance with reverse age gap, which I love.

I adored Ian. He was unapologetically himself and in the end, that’s what won him Henry. I also really enjoyed Henry as a character. Their chemistry and draw to each other was palpable. I really loved the almost codependency they established with each other.

As usual with novellas and short stories, the characters weren’t super fleshed out because of the length of the story. Things started up and progressed very quickly and the “I love you”s came a little too soon for me. 

I so wish we had a lot more of them because they were just so cute.
