B-Rands Review: 5/5 Cowboy burgers

This book had me like this....>

This book was an ABSOLUTE paper turner for me. I switched up from mystery and thriller to this take on love and loss. It was something I could not put down. Axel and Leah's relationship started as nothing more than a family friend because she was only a little girl. I did have some thoughts on the fact Leah was only 19. Axel is 29. The author does give a perspective that Axel had no interest in her as a kid at all and the start of it all made him feel very uncomfortable but Leah kept pursuing her true love.

Axel is watching and looking after his best friend's sister since their parents died. He promised to take care of her and he did but It went so much further than that. Let me know your thoughts on it all.

How would you react to your best friend having relations with said sister? Also, it was SUPER spicy so it's an 18+ bookread.

*Please remember this is my personal opinion and I invite you to read and tell me what you think!*

Where to buy:

How do you feel about the age gap?

• It's not that bad, she is an adult.
• The gap is a little big and I don't agree.
