This one was a slow read for me — it took about a month to finish. The beginning felt heavy on the spice and light on the story, which made it hard to stay hooked. Once the plot developed more, I started to enjoy it, but it still dragged in a few places. A steamy read with potential, just not my

📖 Book Review: Caught Up – Navessa Allen

If you like romance that feels intense, messy, and a little chaotic, Caught Up delivers. This story pulls you straight into a relationship built on tension, bad decisions, and undeniable chemistry. The characters are flawed in ways that feel real — they make questionable choices, push boundaries
