I had a smile on my face 95% of the time I was reading this book. The plot, the characters, everything was amazing. I didn't go into this book with high hopes since my first Tessa Bailey read was a dnf. I was pleasantly surprised.
The dirty talk was so good, but also the emotional connection between the characters during spicy scenes was evident as well. I appreciated the longer scenes too, I feel like that helped to drive home that connection.
I also loved being able to know the inner monologue of both characters at the same time. I have a preference for first person (albeit not a strong preference), but to be honest, the writing was so good that I didn't even give a second thought to it being written in third person.
I didn't read the first book in this series but I didn't feel like I was missing out on anything by not reading it. Maybe I will go back and read that. I really, really want to dive into Sig and Chloe's story - I will be anxiously awaiting the release date.
