This is so good, love a good slow burn. TIRED of all the smut addicts books. Papapa in every goddamn chapter. Now we have plot and essence.
SAME. I prefer the slow build-up, and slow the tension between the characters. The feeling of will they or won't they and then finally we get the first kiss. I so done with "OH look, more smut" that never has plot and the only character development requires a redemption arc because the ML is SO toxic. I've dropped so many, like that. This one and Reunion hit the spot for me.
Bro is so traumatized he assumed the whole thing was funny and lighthearted. While she erased the entire thing. It's interesting to see how two people experiencing the same trauma could cope in different ways.
