3.5 stars, rounded up 

initial thoughts:

this was a great debut! I absolutely loved both characters and their chemistry. I was completely captivated from page one, the way I DEVOURED THIS!!

-the spicy scenes were SO good!!
-characters felt a little too perfect, but also Amelia's inner struggles of getting too close to someone new, and possibly ending with heartache were so relatable
-I feel like both character's background was a little lacking
-Stalker Tori plotline was predictable/have read so many like it
-The ending felt rushed - after the hospital, we barely get to see Amelia's PDST/her progress, it's happening in the background, while we get Jameson's POVs, then his parents giving him land to build a house, etc. Fast forward weeks later, then months later, and finally 2 years later, and everything comes together in a way that wraps up the story well, but I feel like adding 100 pages to the story for Amelia's struggles, or maybe even getting Kat's PoV, would have been nice? maybe?
-needs slight surface-level editing but overall good

Overall, amazing debut with loveable relatable characters. Amelia and Jameson are one of my favourite couples!! Their budding romance was a delight to read.

full review soon? (might clean this up eventually)


Thank you for the ARC, Alexa<3
