Likes: great sex, cute characters, the dogs

Dislike: no plot. Like none.

This was a fun read. It was a great destress, no pressure, for the vibes read. Nothing at all happened/ was resolved. There were no conflicts in this book that weren’t “resolved”/ ignored or just poofed within one or two pages. There were several interesting conflict points that could have added a great plot, but they just fizzled immediately. Some things were wrapped up in the epilogues as a quick fix.

The writing of this was very simple, which makes sense for the book. None of the characters grew or changed or learned anything. Other than the characters getting together. And I point this out because they don’t kiss until 50% through, he goes down on her 65% through, and then they have sex about 70% through. The plot of this book is sexual tension. Which is fun, but probably not for everyone.
