I liked this one a bit more than book one as I knew this time around going in not to take the story or characters too seriously. Like I said in my review of book one, this gives similar vibes to that of another authors series where it's insta lust/love, and the MCs are obsessed with the FMCs, etc. 

Layla & Owen aren't complex characters, and neither is the story. They meet when Owen is on a business trip dealing with an aspect of his families business, Layla is the waitress that serves him at the hotel restaurant. Layla is down on her luck money wise, which, considering the amount we are told ahe works is a bit baffling. She can't even afford new shoes. Owen sees she is struggling, and thanks to that, insta lust/love offers her a job with his company, and Layla uproots her life, moves across the country, and the story goes from there. 

These books follow a formula. The characters are all similar in the way they act, talk, and their relationships develop. My life is hectic AF at the moment so being able to pop the audiobook for this on and just crack on with things whilst not having to pay too much attention to the story to be able to follow it was a bonus for me. The conflict between Layla and her mum felt a bit OTT in comparison to the rest of the vibe of the book, but other than that, this was a quick and easy listen, which is what I needed.
