it was amazing

“What’s that? You think you’re going to c*me for me?” When she nods, I murmur, “Then tell me I’m the best you’ve ever had.” 🔥

Oh my gosh! I am so obsessed with Ben and Layla. This was honestly such a great romance novella and I’m impressed at how well the author was able to write down fleshed out characters by creating an emotional backstory mixed in with fun banter and sexual tension, all under two hundred pages!! 📖❣️

I already knew I was going to love this book judging by the tropes in it. I loved the frenemies to lovers dynamic, the fake dating, only one bed, how he fell first, and the emotional depth of their story as well. 🥹

“I want to be consumed by her if it’s the last thing I do…” ❤️‍🔥

We love to see a man so desperate to love his woman. Ben would literally worship Layla and I’m so here for it.🧎

“We spent years trying to damage each other. Now, hurting him is the last thing I’d ever want. In fact, I’d hunt down anyone who even thought about hurting a single hair on his unfairly perfect head.” 🗡️

Their protectiveness for each other was one of my favorite parts about them.
I loved seeing Layla falling for Ben and slowly letting down her walls and healing her old traumas by being more emotionally open. 🥹

Their love was so hot and fun and sweet. It had all the parts I wanted from a romance. I loved how their relationship evolved from teenage frenemies to soulmates. The way they were there for each other during really hard times was everything to me. ❤️‍🩹

“Maybe that’s the only solution when things get hard. To be there, unwavering, throughout it all. Because even though today may be one of the worst days of his life—he’ll survive it. And I’m going to be the one to show him that he’ll make it through this.” 😭

Also, one of the best and most refreshing parts about this book was the fact that there is no third act breakup nonsense. I was a bit nervous about that, so I was so happy when they dealt with their relationship like adults and faced their future head on. ✨

This is definitely one holiday read I will be recommending this season. 🎄

My only complaint is that I wish this was a full book! 😍
