In broad strokes:
- I get why people would like this but it wasn't for me
- Every romance trope including the kitchen sink was thrown into this book and not in a fun way
- Sterling wasn't great as his very real mood swings weren't fun to read about especially when he lashed out at people
- Reese felt a little hypocritical in a bunch of places
- Also where I really gave up was when Reese doesn't answer Sterling's calls at the climax of the book, doesn't reach out to him either, just sits in her house and broods about missing him - okay!
- Kind of boring, felt longer than it needed to be

And that's it, that's why this is two stars for me. Obviously a fan of St Clair but yes not all her books work for me.
