Not terribly complicated and made for a comfortable night in. Had many LITERAL laugh out loud moments with a range of emotional depth and backstory. I’d read something else by this author and enjoyed the banter.
Can not believe the fade to black moment. I waited 344 pages of sexual tension and flirtation for a bath? With NO DETAILS? NOTHING? This was salt and pepper spiced.
Had to leave the rating lower than if I’d rated halfway through ~ the story was so well developed that the end just left me “wait that’s how you’re going to finish it?”
it’s just the mantra about being more than a night in July reworded for her empowerment BUT the last sentence is “I’m in love” ~ after such awesome dialogue the last 50 pages just feels like the author lost momentum on the project
