I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
HEA: yes
POV: dual 3rd person POV
spice: several open-door spicy scenes
TWs: death of a parent (recounted), divorce, bribery, manipulation, cheating, illegal gambling, addiction (alcohol), getting involved while “on a break” but not officially broken up, mild slut shaming
standalone: yes
final thoughts: this one-night-stand turned fling turned love-of-my-life story was quick, entertaining, and now with added story and spice than the original publication!
Hayden and Brody were so great together and had good communication from day one (other than let’s not talk about our professions which… duh it’s a one-night-stand) and I loved how fast and hard Brody fell for the one woman who isn’t falling at his feet.
The banter was fun, the side characters were interesting, and the spice was spicy. It was so fun to read an update to an old Elle Kennedy story and see how far she’s come with her stories and female friendships within those stories!
