I was (I really was) going to work on a few ARCs and/or TBRs...but then I saw this book (the first one) was on a Pillow Princess mm list and...well...here we are. This is E. Baileu's "Under Your Care." It's the first novel in their Twisted Desires series.
["Lane Bennett has struggled for years due to his childhood trauma. He's tired of feeling broken beyond repair. When Lane's mother begs him to go back to therapy, he doesn't have high hopes. Therapy has never worked for him before, that is until he meets Dr. Cohen.
Greyson Cohen spends his days listening to the mundane issues of his patients. While it's a monotonous life, he doesn't realize something's missing in it until he sets his sights on his new patient, Lane.
Lane refuses to act on his attraction towards his new therapist, excusing their increasingly inappropriate interactions as Dr. Cohen's unique style of therapy. Lane is more than happy to ignore the red flags if it means feeling the affection he so desperately craves."]
This book was glorious. It wasn't ethical by any means, but they worked. It was love at first site and instant connection and my jagged edges match yours. It was strangely all very adorable (minus the drugging and murder and murder twins (no, they don't know the Mulvaney family)).
Quote of the Day (Lane): "Why was this kidnapping so wholesome?"
I don't thiiiiink I'll like the twin's book as much as this one, but there's only one way to find out. ;)
