This book is the corniest shit I’ve ever read by Tessa Bailey. She compared it, in her own book, to a p*rn category… that should tell you something, right there. The angst was so over blown and not sexy.

The lack of care taken with the trauma of the FMC is astounding. No mention of therapy or ptsd to help cope. Just “running away to Antarctica”. The MMC could have helped her by suggesting it, or doing something other than beat his chest at her.

There was no lead up to the spice. So often intimate scenes seemed to come out of no where, with internal monologue whiplash. It’s like they went from talking about job responsibilities to making out in public when the FMC is drunk. The MMC went from speaking to her with respect and care to calling her gorgeous and propositioning her in one conversation. 

It just wasn’t consistent or in good taste. 

The next book looks like it’s going to be about a guy and his soon to be step sister….. talk about an over exaggerated p*rn category. It’s like that’s where she gets her relationship dynamics from… I’m not a fan.
