“You don’t know how I taste.”

“Not yet.”

I’ve been waiting for Sloan’s story pretty much since King of Wrath; I don’t know what it is, but there’s just something about the FMC being the grump and the MMC being sunshiny that is just #ChefsKiss 🤌🏻

🐟 Coworkers to lovers

🎶 He falls first (we love to see it)

🐟 Forced proximity

🎶 Grumpy (her)/Sunshine (him)

🐟 Opposites attract

🎶 Family ✨trauma✨(him and her – gotta love a two for one😅)

Sloan and Xavier were the perfect “opposites attract,” not only balancing each other’s personalities but serving to help us see parts of each other we wouldn’t get to enjoy otherwise. I was a fan of the story’s pacing (Ana always does a good job when it comes to that!); it didn’t feel like we went zero to sixty – even though from the start, we acknowledge there’s a physical attraction – but it also didn’t drag.

Here’s my King of Sloth brain dump for your enjoyment:

• The Kensington’s can go fuck themselves with a pogo stick (minus Pen, of course, but especially Georgia)
• Bentley is a human garbage can
• What was up with Xavier’s recurring nightmare being brought up and never mentioned again? It didn’t add anything to the story, and it annoys me. 
• Who the hell is the dude with the green eyes both Xavier and Sloan ran into?! (I know, I know, I have to wait until King of Envy but UGH.)
• Vuk scares and intrigues me in equal measure.
• I will never look at a walnut in the same way again.
• I have this weird impulse to read dinosaur porn 🤔

“Love isn’t about perfection, Luna; it’s about imperfect people creating their own version of happily ever after. And while I don’t know everything, I do know this: Every version of my happily ever after will always include some version of you.”
