I liked Riley and Zeke, but Clay and Giana blew me out of the water. I loved that they started out as a fake relationship. This also had "teach me" vibes and I was her for all of it. I loved how confident Giana was with Clay and how they really brought out the best in each other. Giana is also a smut queen and I loved seeing a reader as a reader. It was also incredibly hot to see Clay reading her books to find out what she liked.  This one was also so heartfelt and vulnerable and it was clear that both Clay and Giana cared a lot about those close to them. I had a blast reading this and I truly didn't want it to end. Something about this book just hit real hard in the best way and I'm so invested in the series. The spice was amped up a notch from book one and I just think Clay and Giana worked so naturally together. I absolutely loved this book!
