Estava à espera de mais, sinto que faltou desenvolvimento!! Os conflitos eram muitos e mal resolvidos, sobretudo dos personagens principais.

3.0

The first half of the book I didn’t like much. It’s written like their sexual attraction was so strong they couldn’t resist, regardless of how it hurt them. They argued constantly and treated each other horribly. 

Then Jameson flips a switch and decides to be with Emily, and suddenly they’re sweet to each other and it’s a nice romance. Until the 3rd act breakup, where Jameson is horrible again. I don’t know how, but they get their HEA and if you can believe it, it was pretty sweet. 

Then next book is supposed to be about the nice brother, so I’ll give it a try. 

TW/CW details about infidelity 

Jameson had an agreement with his ex fiance. While long distance, they could sleep around but couldn’t get serious with anyone else, and they were going to get fully back together after five years of Claudia working her dream job in London. Emily didn’t know anything about that arrangement until they’d been together a few weeks. Jameson broke it off with Claudia and then told Emily. There is also a side character who found evidence his boyfriend was cheating (all off page) and struggled to end the relationship.

three stars for the drama but there’s a difference between grumpy and downright cruel.
