So, this time around... didn't quite hit the spot like before, eh? Good for zoning out after a big book, and the stories keep you going. But 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬, it's all about the bedroom antics. Got a bit repetitive for me & these stories didn't paint the ladies nicely. Still, if you're after something easy to get through? 𝐆𝐈𝐕𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐀 𝐆𝐎 Just... be prepared for a lot of 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 kind of thing, you know?
