Jayce and his dirty mouth 😍😍

★★★★✩

This story was smut-tastic and I had to keep sitting in front of a fan while reading it! Sensually erotic, passion-filled scenes and broken characters made this story one super satisfying read. While the plot had a certain amount of heaviness to it, it had an easy flow and compelled me to stay tuned right to the sweet end.

Jayce - a manwhore extraordinaire who refused to open his heart to anyone after losing the love of his life. He was loyal to his friends, he was searching for family, and he held out hope that his love would come back.
Kenna - everyone's best friend and the woman Jayce loses himself in to numb his pain. She was a sweet girl suffering her own heartache and recognized that his eyes mirrored her own broken heart.
Ivy - the girl that got away. Her father succeeded in separating her from Jayce and a second chance they both didn't count on gave them both exactly what they were missing - each other.

Two shattered shards of glass.
Two broken pieces of a puzzle.
Two flames of one fire.
My Flash. His Firefly. Forever.

Secrets and lies and devastation were the seeds of Jayce and Ivy's separation but the author did a great job of bringing these characters back together. I enjoyed the incredibly sexy flashbacks to who they were together before the breakup, which gave much needed background to the depth of their connection. While the plot wasn't all that intricate or complicated, it definitely benefitted the story. All sex does not a relationship make and I was glad that the author gave these characters and their bond some substance. Dani René has a real knack for capturing the subtleties of an intimate scene and I couldn't help but savor each and every one of them. I can honestly say that I'm looking forward to reading more from her!
