This series is so good. Watching Juanpa and Pris circle one another made me want their story. I knew that they had history and had been off and on for years until something happened that sent Pris running and Juanpa looking at himself. .
I loved that Juanpa has been working on himself. He is in therapy and is not ashamed. He can see how this pattern that he and Pris have been in hurts them both. Instead of reacting, he thinks about the situation.
Pirs is a cop with a sexual health side hustle. She teaches classes for older people about masturbation and enjoying sex as they get older. This is her passion. Being a cop is not what she had hoped it would be. There is so much sexism and racism hat she has to f=deal with on a daily basis that she is tired.
This book does so many things right. The friendships are fantastic, It is sex positive and hot. The issues are so honest. I love the families and the thoughtful way that Juanpa approaches this relationship while trying to avoid all the old patterns that continually wrecked them.
THis book gets all of it right and the sexy times are extremely well done. I love this author and will read anythign she writes.
