Rezension von AnnikaI’m not religious, but I would gladly pray to Nicci Harries for being a goddess and writing these f*cking incredible books!!! I’m absolutely obsessed with everything she writes, and this one was no exception. I wish I could experience it for the first time over and over again because it was that good. The power imbalance? The SIZE DIFFERENCE?? HELLO?! I am not okay with having to part with these two 😭. The spice was chef’s kiss as always, and the story itself was pure perfection. I need more ASAP!!!
