This book was corny as hellllll. I enjoyed it a decent amount but I felt a lot of the character building subplots either didn’t get the build up they needed or started too late and resolved too early for them to have the greater story impact the resolution of the book needed. I thought Dawson and Tully were fun and their chemistry was magnetic but it wasn’t given the time I thought it needed to really build to love. One week isn’t really making much sense for an i love you. Tully calling Dawson Legs as a nickname was a bit grating especially after his “I don’t treat women as objects” moment. Like yes you do sir you legit call her Legs. But whatever. Minor issue. It was sweet. Two solid smut scenes but the promised cunnilingus was never delivered. Sad.
