I was really enjoying this at first but this was super long and kind of dragged in the middle. I also didn't get the appeal of Rhys personally.

 This was so good! I loved the premise a lot. I'm sad it took me so long for me to get to.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 36%.
This just wasn't good. It was insta love to the max where I didn't even care what happened to them. Then in part 2 there was a random time jump and felt like the book was starting all over??

This was cute!  I really liked the relationship and the kind. My only complaint is that the Only Fans aspect felt unnecessary and rushed to me. I would have preferred an actual chapter flashback with real connections instead of a few sentences every chapter. I couldn't really believe their connection that way.
