My rating: 3 of 5 stars

3.5⭐️

Chase Benedict has lived the life of luxury since he was born. He always went to the right schools, was the leader in everything he did, and also got exactly what he wanted. This meant that he’s not very accustomed to someone telling him what he doesn’t want to hear but that changed when he almost hit Allegra with his car. Now the top man at one of London’s largest criminal organizations is now being told exactly what a young woman thinks of him and his driving capabilities. This chance encounter could change their lives in ways neither of them anticipated when Chase and Allegra realize they can’t stop thinking about each other and there’s little that can be done to address it other than see what comes of it.

Overall I enjoyed the story and the sexual tension and smut were by far the best part. It explores Allegra’s introduction to a part of herself she wasn’t aware of while having Chase focus on laying out rules and consent in the beginning. I’m not sure how much I enjoyed the twist with how it impacts the couple but it was really interesting getting an idea of what would continue to happen between them. My biggest complaint personally (and which might not be an issue at for others) was the incorporation of the pandemic and how Chase is powerful enough to not abide by the restrictions in place. I definitely understand that realistically this is probably the case for certain parts of society but personally it really pulled me out of the book because I would get frustrated. Overall it was a quick read and had all sorts of chemistry!
