veronica ☽'s Reviews > Knot My Type

All eyes are on Dr. Frankie Kenton and her podcast, All Access, when she is nominated for multiple Poddie awards. She is a sassy sexologist who doesn’t let her physical disability get in her way. Her job is to make people comfortable with intimacy and emotions, and to create an inclusive environment for sex. When a fan writes with questions on how to make rope play accessible, Frankie leaps on the opportunity to learn more about the art of shibari. Through a friend, she is connected with Jay Wood, a local carpenter and experienced rigger. Their first encounter is full of sparks and flirty conversation as Jay quenches Frankie's curiosity. When he invites her to his accessible rope play class at a bdsm club, she instantly agrees. What kind of podcaster would she be if she didn't take her own advice or learn from her own experiences?

Her first time being tied up is everything she expected and more. She feels safe and satisfied in Jay's strong, calloused hands. Jay cannot deny his attraction to her, because once he has her tied up, he never wants to let her go. After the class, she bravely asks Jay out on a date but he warily declines. He isn't looking for any strings attached... but he is enticed by the pink-haired beauty who isn't afraid to speak her mind. Being friends with Frankie comes so naturally and their chemistry is undeniably electric. They know they are compatible so they agree to be friends without benefits. Their lust for each other proves what they already know and they wrangle the possibility of a future together.

Months later, when they are going steady, Jay joins Frankie at the Poddie awards. This opportunity is extremely important to her because she can show how inclusive intimacy can be for those who are differently abled. When the truth behind Jay's fear of commitment is revealed, Frankie is determined to rope him back in and show him how beautiful love can be with the right person.

what I did love
- Shamelessly sex positive and shows how life can be thriving with a physical disability
- How Jay learned how to accommodate to Frankie's needs to ensure her safety and pleasure.
- he built a ramp for her and sledgehammered his wall so that she could use his bathroom that wasn't wheelchair accessible!!! *SWOON*
- A quick read with lots of likable secondary characters!

what I didn't love
- The two month time jump when their relationship was so new... I would have loved to see their connection develop more than just their physical compatibility.
- This book was definitely steamy, but with the content warning in the beginning, I was expecting a lot more rope play and bdsm scenes.
- The epilogues were a cute end to Frankie and Jay's story but it felt lackluster in comparison to the rest of the book.

tropes: grumpy/sunshine, physical disability representation, friends with benefits (sort of), bdsm & rope play.
