3.75

This was a super fun read! There are some interactions between the two main characters, that made me want to scream at one of them. I gave the 3.75 rating because there are some parts that make you cringe a bit. But it was super cute, spicy romance and just very enjoyable!

ugh i love the single dad trope and everyone is just so lovely.

i think the sexual assault should've been processed more instead of just basically shoved aside

I really didn't like this book. It never adequately addresses the casual stalking Lucy did. Like taking pictures from a ladder into someone's backyard is a serious invasion of privacy. But we are cool with it because

she saves Aiden from drowning

.

Adeline is like a terrible person, and Adam comes from a famous Hollywood family, but his family only barely impact the story.

The drama was too much, and not enough heart.

Adam was possessive in an icky for me. Like not asking Lucy to marry him, but literally demanding it. It was not cute or like charming.

AND CAN WE NOT HAVE LITTLE BOYS ALREADY MISOGYNISTIC. Aiden says at one point something like " you eat more than me and my dad. Girls aren't supposed to eat that much." Ughhhhh

Also 6 year olds crushing on adults is never cute to me, especially when adults play into it.

Oh my god and the sexual assault from that random actor to serve as a means of Adam and Lucy getting closer was insane. No thank you.

This whole book was like a soap opera in a bad way.

Let’s start by saying that this book needed to be called To LOVE Adam Connor because that’s exactly what I did. I FELL for this man!! He’s a single parent to his absolutely ADORABLE son, Aiden, as well as being sweet, protective, sexy, patient, dignified and just perfection!

I loved Lucy in To Love Jason Thorn and my god, this girl’s story did not disappoint! She had me dying with laughter but also crying with how much I related to her. Yes, it was repetitive in how she felt, but that’s exactly how it feels like in reality and it’s hard to overcome that feeling. I’m so glad we saw a lot more of her friendship with Olive, and I loved her interactions with Jason too! As for her and Adam - wow!! Their banter back and forth from start to finish was hilarious, their lust and love for each other was disgustingly perfect and put Aiden into the mix, you have the CUTEST family ever! 😍

The spice is great in this book, but I LIVED for the sexual tension and flirtatious interactions whilst still trying to maintain the hate with each other. The little games they played with one another had me kicking my legs in the air and grinning like the Cheshire Cat!

I loved the plot throughout as well as all the amazing tropes! I found it more intriguing and exciting then TLJT especially with it having a couple of “oh my god” moments. As much as I liked Olive and Jason, they just don’t compare to Lucy and Adam! 😍 that ending was perfect for Lucy’s story (and yes, I may have cried some happy tears about it)!
