“You might be wearing his ring, but we both know it was my cock you were riding in your head,” he husks across my skin.

I love Jasper Gervais so, so much. I have a thing for broody men and oh is he broody. Sloane has had a crush on Jasper since she was 10 years old, everyone knew it. However, Jasper didn’t know that her never went away and assumes she doesn’t return his feelings as she’s literally about to get married. Sloane calls off her wedding and wants to runaway from the church, and Jasper is there to help her every step of the way. Their friendship had so emotional much depth behind it and was so sweet. Both Jasper and Sloane had a lot of emotional moments to work through individually, but they were so supportive of each other. 
 
The spice was incredible. This is a slow burn but omg is the payoff worth it. The dirty talk was delicious and just as good as the actual spice scenes. The spice though… Crawl to me never fails to make me sweat 🥵 
 
There was so much chemistry, love, and growth in Powerless between the two of them. I highly recommend this entire series, but Powerless especially.
