“So are you going to share how this started with you two?”
I clear my throat and wonder if I should fib a little but then decide against it. Because really, who cares how it started. What matters is the ending, right?
“Well, Sem broke into my house and dared me to fuck him.”
My first instinct is to say this book was "cute" but I think that's kind of underselling it. Yet, I don't know how else to describe it. I enjoyed Sem even more than Whit, probably because the MCs feel more fleshed-out and there weren't as many underdeveloped aspects. I simply loved Sem and Maggie together. Their dynamic just has the perfect blend of silliness, sexiness, and sincerity. Despite their differences and the unconventional way they got together, I believed in their compatibility and love for each other.
Having read 2 of Rose's books now, I can see why she's compared to Alessandra Hazard. There are quite a few similarities between the Unexpected series and Hazard's Straight Guys series. Both are trope-heavy with possessive/obsessive characters and over-the-top stories and situations that require some suspension of disbelief. While I haven't devoured Rose's books like I did Hazard's, they're still pretty addicting.
