I feel so conflicted about this one. I really enjoyed the first 100 pages, but then the spice started to hit, and the pacing of it just felt off to me. I think I couldn’t get past the trauma bonding of it all and enjoy the romance. I started to lose interest at the end, and Grant also began to get on my nerves. I really liked Helen, and Yulin Kuang’s writing makes me excited for her adaptation of “People We Meet on Vacation”. Where I’m landing is I liked the writing but not the plot, and thus three stars.
