synopsis

When Caroline Donovan and Nora Brody are assigned to the same unit of the FBI, they become fast friends. As they navigate through their careers, the connection they share changes and grows along with them. Their unique challenges, and favorite kinks, entangle them in ways neither expected.

  • finally finally finally a Caroline and Nora story and its was sooo good ‐ not my favorite but definitely up there 
  • Finally getting to know more about Caroline and her backstory was everything I didn’t know I needed ‐ loved that it was from her POV and not Nora’s 
  • Also Nora and Caroline’s backstory and how they started, ended, and started again + how her whole abduction thing that took place was interestingalthough I didn’t really like the part where she said she only dated Greg to make Caroline mad bc that just made her look dumb and petty af and I didn’t like that for Caroline
  • Loved both Nora and Caroline ‐ Caroline’s whole masc/dom vibe is just a go for me and Nora compliments her and is what she needs in a partner so I liked her too 
  • this was my first BDSM book that I’ve ever read definitely learned a lot of new things but ended up skipping over some scenes toward the end bc I just wasn’t feeling it anymore by then ‐ felt like a little much by end and the spicy scenes were super long but it was probably great if you’re into that sorta thing ‐ + you don’t really miss anything important if you skip them at least from what I could tell 
  • This book was really long but it reads fast bc the pacing was great it has the perfect amount of angst distributed throughout the book that keeps things interesting and makes it hard to put down
  • Loved seeing lots of Sali, Maggie and Anita in this 
  • I absolutely lovvved the ending and definitely would read this book again as a solo or w/ the series 
  • Birthday dinner scene 
  • Cleaning / packing Nora’s apartment 
  • Working together scenes 
  • Caroline helping Nora after her abduction 
  • Caroline helping Nora w/ her panic attacks
  • Dinners w/ Salis and Maggie
