1. this was unnecessarily long, it could’ve been 300 pages shorter and it would’ve been fine
2. he refers to his dick as his sword of thunder

I liked it. Sometimes you just wanna read a romance where they're obsessed with each other and happy. They are that for most of this book. It was only a tiny bit eye rolly during the third act breakup with a guy who literally doesn't do a single thing wrong after chapter one and, imo it's kinda cringe to propose at someone else's wedding even if they say it's okay.

Despite the copious amount of grammatical errors in this book, I completely fell in love with Carter and Olivia. This was a great palate cleanser for me, while still having the right amount of emotional depth and complexity that makes it more than just a fluff read. I wasn’t a huge fan of the miscommunication trope that happens later on in the book, but thankfully that was pretty short-lived.

dnf @ chapter 3
I thought I could keep going. I read the reviews and so many people said not so fun things so thank you, but yeah no.
I can't even tell you how many times the girls height was mentioned. Really what's with the "she's so tiny she could fit in my fucking nostril". I don't mind little height difference, I like tall guys, but there's a limit to how much I can take before I cringe to death.
Also the way Carter kept harassing Olivia the first time they met. Just imagine if that was some other guy who's not 'hot', then it wouldn't be 'so okay'. It's literally sexual harassment.

Her wide eyes lock on mine, cheeks blazing, hand hanging there in midair, holding on to a…A goddamn Oreo. Woman’s my f**king soul mate.
She’s like waking up on Christmas morning when you’re three years old and you finally understand what it’s all about.
I want to be better, not only for her, but for myself too.

🚩 FMC is a teacher & is sexually harassed or propositioned by male students on multiple occasions. This is dealt with using basic behaviour management when it should go straight to the principal & be dealt with seriously not laughed off. The FMC’s best friend jokes that “all those senior boys wanna get between her luscious thighs”, joking about adult/minor relationships & the sexual harassment her friend is dealing with at work. This needed to be better thought out as the joking encouraged this behaviour.
Available on Kindle Unlimited.
