Thank you, NetGalley & Afterglow (Mills & Boon), for approving me for this ARC.
Aw, I really enjoyed this MM romance. It's a pretty woman retelling with lots of complex characters and spice.
Teddy is a plant daddy and after his divorce (which takes away everything he loves) he's left with feeling like he has nothing (except a fabulous best friend called Kit) and is having to move home to live with his mum in his 30's because he can't keep having her pay his share of the rent.
Enter Cole, a wealthy entrepreneur who created and stars in an LGBTQ+ app that is a safe space for sex workers (think only fans).
Cole needs a plus 1 for his sisters wedding, and after he meets Teddy in a bar, he presents Teddy an offer he can't refuse.
I loved the relationship between Cole & and Teddy, and I liked how it wasn't an exact retelling of pretty woman and I love how Tedddy was so into nature and plants and Cole used crystals to help centre himself.

I really this book, it is a subversive take on Pretty Woman, I found that original, but everything else was quite aligned with romcoms and pretty romantic!
