WOW, JUST WOW. I cannot get over this book and how breathtaking it was. I felt all the feels and man was I obsessed with this story from the very beginning. Jackson and Blakely have an epic age-gap romance that is honestly one of a kind. With Jax being a new employee of Blakely's father, their spiteful relationship begins. She is the teenager who constantly gets under his skin and he is the one man who actually sees her for her. This is a slow-burn that will have you screaming! The sexual tension in this book had me rolling. Like I don't understand how Emily can make me wanna rip a man's clothes off within the first few chapters but man oh man does she do it. Blakely struggles with OCD and an eating disorder from being a socialite who is solely used for brand promotions. The world around her doesn't care about her emotions, well-being, or wants. They only care about how the picture looks that she posted and how much money they can make off of her. With her poor relationship with her father, we see a lot of Blakely's raw struggles. Jackson goes through life-fighting to get over his heartbreak and bad feelings toward his best friends back in Sugarlake. There is a lot to Jackson's past that really shapes who he is as a person. Emily made me fall in love with this man and all of his brokenness. I loved how Emily did so much for character building with her and Jax. We really get to see who they are as individuals and why they fit perfectly together. Blakely and Jackson want to heal each other but also conquer their obstacles on their own. This will have you feel all the emotions. It is angsty, spicy, passionate, romantic, happy & so much more.

This is a MUST READ I promise you!

This book is the reason I fell in love with age gap romance. I was skeptical when I first started because I wasn’t sure how I would adjust. THIS RELATIONSHIP IS EVERYTHING. It is interconnected with The Truth about Heartbreak. The couple in this book are wrong & taboo on so many levels but you can’t help but root for them the entire time. There is never a moment where their love & passion for each other is hidden from you, only from each other. There is heartbreak, angst & a lot of amazing spice scenes in this book! I enjoyed the ride & loved the different twists the author threw in to their story. It was never boring & I truly loved the ending, totally worth it & epic love!
