Ehh, 3.5 ⭐. Don't get me wrong, this book was 🔥HOT🔥 I just didn't find it believable. I couldn't believe that pre-Maddy Zach was the same person as post-Maddy Zach. Just didn't really see that character "development" and it was more like a character transformation in the blink of an eye.... And I could not get on board with them actually being in love. They certainly had sexual chemistry. Their sexual escapades were fun, no doubt. But what was their relationship beyond the bedroom? Even when they tried having serious conversations, they would still think about having them in bed. Yeah, it makes for a good erotica book, but you're not selling me on the romance part, which seemed to be the end game and I think that part missed the mark.

Could’ve stood to have a bit more relationship building and family dynamics bc I don’t totally believe those two are compatible life partners. She’s just so damn young
