Oh how I love the sweetness that is Asher and Theo and this book! With the reality tv competition angle of this strangers to lovers romance, there was not a moment where I wanted to put it down. The subtle tension between Asher and Theo while they’re figuring their feelings out is delicious, and I just about died every time.
I’m not sure there will ever be a day where the one bed trope does not hit. It was PERFECTION here. Watching the shift between Asher and Theo from their discomfort in the shared bed to a longing for the other was delightful. I am team #thasher for life- on and off their reality show Epic Trek.
Something really special about this book was the storytelling of Theo’s military experience and his forced coming out. It made me angry (as it should!) and highlighted a specific part of being a part of the LGBTQIA+ community that needs to be spoken about more. Justice for younger Theo, and justice for all who have that moment taken away from them.
Thank you to PENGUIN GROUP Putnam and G.P. Putnam’s Sons for the opportunity to read and review this book! I received a free advance copy of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions expressed are my own.
