This was a netgalley read as I am a total sucker for an Alexis Hall book. 

This one did not disappointment. Of all Hall’s books this one is the steamiest I think and it has interesting dynamics in terms of the age gap, the personalities of the two main characters, and their stages in life. This had some intensity to it and a sense of being lonely even when people aren’t actually alone. 

There’s some intense BDSM for those who might be sensitive when it comes to that on page but given this was much about how they met and their relationship dynamic, it definitely fit.

Thanks to the publisher for the netgalley copy.
