Ugh, yes. I love gritty themes like this. Throw in a grumpy, grizzled man with a secret soft side, and you have me. I'm excited to see where this goes, as I appreciate the story going on underneath the tense romance we're seeing bud between MC and Alvarez. Also, what a fuckin stellar romance candidate. He feels real. I like that. Not dying to get in our pants as soon as we meet. You build that tension juuuuust right. Bless y'all for that. Anyway, great stuff here, guys. <3
