ok so this book is the very very opposite of slow burn. it’s like they’ve never spoken and the very next day after they talk he’s forcing himself to stay in her house (like a protecting thing but like boy who even are u you’ve said less than 2 times). very fast. it’s not that it’s horrible it’s just that like they know nothing of each other but are acting like they’re ready to sacrifice everything for one another (like they don’t even know anything other than when they see each other passing by every day). it kinda cringed me out. that’s not the reason i didn’t finish the book but definitely something that was so weird to me the whole book. (keep in mind that i do love love love a SLOWWWburn so for them to be like in LOVE (and not even like crushing) within the first 50 pages is like what is going on (feels like throwing the plot out the window). but i do love a blue collar guy with a bakery owner so that is like one of the only good parts of the plot.

This book is insta romance and peak alpha male. If you're not into super fast paced relationships then this isn't for you. This was not the worst book I've read, but I did have a few issues. Firstly, I don't see why Rowan couldn't speak in full sentences, I found it a little off putting but you do get over it. Secondly, I really felt that her brothers death could have been introduced better. It just seemed a like a really strange way to communicate that information, and it wasn't until maybe a chapter later that Nora even really aclnokaged she was upset. All in all, I did enjoy this as a quick filler read to keep me going, but I'm not sure if I would reccomend it.
