If you love taboo books you will love this one. There are a lot of lower ratings and I almost avoided this book because of that and I’m so glad I didn’t. It’s well written, the characters are adorable, and the taboo nature fits perfectly between “ick” and “sexy”.

I can’t imagine there ever being a time where I pick up these books and don’t immediately fall back in love.
