Holy Hell, was this book SMOKIN'! I'm officially on the hunt for a sugar daddy hotter than my coffee, brb.
Kayla Riane really set the pages on fire with this debut—banging job (yes, pun intended). The chemistry between Emme and Ben was off-the-charts from their very first meeting. Sometimes age-gap romances (he’s 45, she’s 24) can feel like they belong in the ‘no, thank you’ zone, but these two were a perfect fit. Usually, I love a dual POV, but seeing it all through Emme’s perspective made it way better here.
And let's talk spice—so. much. good. spice. This wasn’t just fluff; every scene actually built their trust. But still... there was a LOT of, well, spiciness. *Chef’s kiss*
Emmeline was bratty, no denying it. Honestly, there were a few times I wanted to yell, “shut up dummy, you’re going to ruin it!” But I really loved how the author nailed the ADHD representation. Emme wasn’t just a spaced-out ditz; it felt real and honest. And Ben? The patience of a saint, that one.
I wish we got more of Cora and Fred. What’s their deal? I’d totally read a spin-off.
Having Ben’s POV in the epilogue was the cherry on top. All in all, this book is a keeper, proudly displayed on my trophy shelf!
