4 stars — Yay! It’s like they got better as they went along (though, I remember liking book 2 as well). This one was pretty easy to get into and read. It could have been even higher rated if it weren’t for Laura’s insecurities sabotaging things.
I wasn’t anticipating connecting with Laura as much, and while that’s true to a degree, I did enjoy her more than I was expecting. She was unsurprisingly damaged by quite a few past relationships that made her see a pattern that wasn’t there. She surprised me with her willingness to explore at times, so that was nice.
Russ totally surprised me! I loved that we got to see that vulnerable side, and the story from his childhood that perfectly illustrates why he is the carefully controlled man he is today. He was so much sweeter and marshmallow-y center than I was expecting. I really loved that he saw so much of Laura, and appreciated it.
They were pretty steamy together, for those moments when they got outside their heads. And, to be fair, they were both equally boneheaded in their lack of communication. Not my favourite trope for sure, but I guess I enjoyed other parts of the story enough to make up for it.
