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.

I liked the writing style and most of the characters, especially the side characters. Jameson and Emily had good chemistry. However, I'm no fan of the way Jameson treated Emily throughout the whole book. He was too arrogant and never really focused on her wishes.
The storyline was interesting, even though talking could have easily solved some of the misunderstandings between the main characters.

I'm so tired of sexual assault assholes being turned into the perfect man. I see it coming and it's just gross.
