First person (present or past) or third person limited (past tense) for a romance with HEAVY spice?

I'm trying to decide between first person (leaning more towards past tense) or third person limited (past tense).

The premise is that the story takes place in a struggling nightclub where a woman works in bottle services and her long-term boyfriend is the club promoter/social media person, in a major city. Her boyfriend cheats on her so she leaves him, but can't find another job, so she's stuck. The club is sold to another set of owners, and eventually the woman and one of the club owners start a secret relationship.

I've tried the first few chapters in both styles and I'm torn. I also like to read both styles, but I do get weary of first person because it can feel so cold and distant in terms of the WHOLE picture. I feel the same about third person, in terms of intimacy with other characters.

It also doesn't help that I have ADHD lol. Help! I appreciate you guys so much.

What are some scams that have popped up in Miami in 2026?

Where I live, it's university students getting blackmailed when they have people take their tests for them in LockDown Browser.

Insulting/profanity filled phrases specific to Miami and/or Native Cubans?

I know cono and pinga, etc, but I'm curious if there are additional phrases that are common.

I wish that we had a translator app that would differentiate the Spanish dialects by country.
