Let’s start by saying that this book needed to be called To LOVE Adam Connor because that’s exactly what I did. I FELL for this man!! He’s a single parent to his absolutely ADORABLE son, Aiden, as well as being sweet, protective, sexy, patient, dignified and just perfection!

I loved Lucy in To Love Jason Thorn and my god, this girl’s story did not disappoint! She had me dying with laughter but also crying with how much I related to her. Yes, it was repetitive in how she felt, but that’s exactly how it feels like in reality and it’s hard to overcome that feeling. I’m so glad we saw a lot more of her friendship with Olive, and I loved her interactions with Jason too! As for her and Adam - wow!! Their banter back and forth from start to finish was hilarious, their lust and love for each other was disgustingly perfect and put Aiden into the mix, you have the CUTEST family ever! 😍

The spice is great in this book, but I LIVED for the sexual tension and flirtatious interactions whilst still trying to maintain the hate with each other. The little games they played with one another had me kicking my legs in the air and grinning like the Cheshire Cat! 

I loved the plot throughout as well as all the amazing tropes! I found it more intriguing and exciting then TLJT especially with it having a couple of “oh my god” moments. As much as I liked Olive and Jason, they just don’t compare to Lucy and Adam! 😍 that ending was perfect for Lucy’s story (and yes, I may have cried some happy tears about it)!

 I was really liking this book in the first half, but the second half just fell apart for me. There was so much happening that just felt pointless, and I actually got very annoyed at the
Spoiler false positive pregnancy test. It just felt so flippant and unnecessary and triggering for anyone who experiences infertility.
  I felt as if this book was trying to push the boundaries and hit all the triggers and it just made me uncomfortable because they didn't feel necessary. It just became sort of a grab bag of triggers: sexual assualt, pregnancy, kidnapping, stalking, sex tapes, drug/alcohol addiction.... Our main female character was this spunky, funny person and then all this dark stuff was just thrown in. It just didn't fit to me.
