This is the swooniest read! I’m talking soft, gentle, patient love, old-fashioned courting, yearning, and filthy spice. WHAT A BLOODY COMBO!
Jasper is so afraid of being left that he quits before anyone can leave him. As someone who relates to the way his ASD is described, I felt so seen. That feeling of not fitting into a world that’s loud, abrasive, and not made for those of us with sensory sensitivities? Oof. Right in the feels.
And then there’s Konrad. 🥹 Soft, gentle, patient Konrad, who doesn’t try to break Jasper’s walls down. He builds a ladder. I CANNOT WITH THIS MAN.
The emotional maturity, the respect for boundaries, the soft touches, the grazing of fingers, the yearning! He gave me all those Mr Darcy feelings, except this man was DOWN BAD from the jump. Beloved in his native tongue? I’m DONE.
And the spice? Yummmm! Tender AND filthy. Apparently, you can absolutely have both because Asa made it happen. One minute you’re saying “awww,” the next you’re blushing and desperately trying to give these boys some privacy. And CHAPTER 22?! 🥵 Asa, you made us WAIT for that!
This book gave me everything I love: yearning, tenderness, emotional intimacy, a man who loves with his whole damn heart, and spice that absolutely delivers.
Read it. Swoon over Konrad. Thank me later. ❤️
