REVIEW
What I Liked:The premise of the plot had a lot of elements that I liked.
What I Didn't Like:The story relied heavily on the external plot points when I think it could have benefited for stronger character and relationship arcs. The development of the relationship between Nicole and Asher felt a little too easy.
Overall:There are some very steamy scenes that involve spanking and submitting to the alpha male, but it wasn't my favorite as a whole.
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ (3/5)
Heat Index: 🔥🔥🔥🔥 (4/5)
