This book was such a disappointment. The premise was <i>excellent</i> - an unexpected inheritance, under the guardianship of someone the main character hates.
But she never really hated him, as far as I could tell.
The characters individually were (mostly) a lot of fun! I loved the diversity of ethnicity and the inclusion of a gay character. But I never felt any spark between the FMC and the MMC. There was a lot of sex, but very little romance.
Any time they were on page together, it felt like such a slog.
