I held off reviewing this book for 3 weeks, thinking with some time I’ll cool off a little. No such luck, tho, so here we go.
This is the story of Dom and Lexi. After sharing a passionate night in Paris, they reconnect a year later when Lexie is introduced to her boyfriend (Nate)’s father, who’s none other than Dom. Neither of them moved on from that night, and the only reason why Lexi is in a relationship with Nate is because he pressured her into one, being her friend and roommate. Not wanting to hurt his feelings, she agrees to give them a try but it’s so clear from their lack of chemistry and her disinterest in them that nothing’s ever going to come out of it.
This review will be divided into two parts
1. Up until 70% - 3 smut stars 2. Last 30% also known as what in the ever-loving fuck just happened
Both parts have spoilers, as usual.

This was pure smut. Just two people having all kinds of sex, and you know what? Nothing wrong with that. I really do love me my smut reads, but two issues here :
a) Smut is smut, but If you choose to include sensitive topics, such as suicide, you need to have some form of development.
b) Age gap. We know there’s a 20-something age gap between Dom and Lexi, but if you make them both 20, nothing would really change about the story. Where are the high stakes, the daddy issues, the kink??
Speaking of kink, here’s a snippet of a convo between M (the bitchy voice inside my head) and I.
M : he compared her coochie to STEAK TARTARE, MINA Me : he…enjoys his food. [image]
M : it’s SO INSTA, can’t you freaking see? *me humming John Cena’s theme song*
Me :
“Shh, pretty girl,” I hiss into her ear. “Wouldn’t want Nate to hear, would we?”
M : ….okay, even I could admit that’s fucking hot. Me : [image]
M : the bravest thing she ever did was undress in front of her hotel room window, and now they’re fucking in public? And someone is going down on her? Me :
[image]
M *shouting* : his idea of a romantic gesture is taking her to the sex club he owns, getting her up on the stage in front of 1000 attendees and telling her they'll fuck in front of the public but also stream it to his other clubs AND his private website??? Me : BITCH, ITS JUST SMUT FOR FUCKS SAKE + ITS HOT ...more
