One thing KJ Charles is hella good at is writing sex scenes where characters stumble and trip up and things don’t go smoothly and it’s all extremely Not Perfect — AND instead of it being some sort of ridiculous traumatic plot device or a very unsexy Oh Joy Sex Toy style educational segment, somehow the realistic foibles of people trying to figure out how to communicate about turning each other on become part of the sex scene and add depth to the characters and their relationship to each other. This book might be setting a new bar though, even for her.
