Imperfect, but still so much fun πŸ₯Ή

Binged this in a day. Was giggling and kicking my feet the whole time! 

I absolutely loved their talks and the way Lukas could just read her so easily!! I wasn't bored once, and the spice was (mostly) so good πŸ₯΅

However, I have to say, this isn't 5 stars for me for two reasons. 

Firstly, there was no real kink at play 90% of the time. Minor control things, but nothing so extreme it required all that build up? Yall even did the kink test and still had some of the most vanilla sex. 

Secondly, I truly despise when women in books take literally two seconds to orgasm. Which happened entirely too often in this. It was always less than like two minutes. Which, tbh is disappointing to say the least. 

Now, usually, these two points may not be a big deal, but considering it was basically the whole premise of the book, I had to mention it. 

Overall though, I truly did love this so much. Ali's writing is just so addictive and I'll never stop auto-buying her books!
