This one just took me forever to read. I'm unsure if it was where I was getting ready to go on vacation, struggled to get interested in the first book of the duology, or just this book in general. Still, it just took me forever to read it. I really wanted more from the story, especially after the build-up that the first book started. But I think it just fell flat for me. It was really steamy, and I believe the steam took over the book to the point where the ending revealed and wrapped up everything too fast. I wish we had focused more on what was happening than Aurora and Jonathon. Plus, this one also fell into the miscommunication trope, and that's just one that tends to drive me bananas rather than actually work for me lately.
