I read 45% of this book and I just can’t get into it. One email and the ML is obsessing over the FL. FL risks her job for ML. Not worth the hype.

Almost DNFd this book

Usually books pull me right in or I don’t read them. This book was hard. I liked the story idea so I kept picking it back up. I was about halfway in before the story picked up for me.

It kind of ends on a cliffhanger and now I am more interested in the story so I am going to try book 2. Hopefully it is not a struggle to get into.

Repetitive. Dull. Boring.

I got tired of it after chapter 4 but pushed on anyways. DNF’d 50%.

 Content Warnings: Sexual scenes, death of a parent, cancer, flashbacks of witnessing the sexual assault and rape of a loved one, and mention of domestic abuse.

I've been meaning to read this book for a while and I finally decided to give it a go. This was an interesting read and I loved that the author chose to write a woman who's never experienced and orgasm and doesn't even believe it's possible to do so...and even when she's meets and falls for the leading man...it still takes time and trust for her to open up and be able to experience that connection with him. It's an experience a lot of women go through and I was so happy that the author took their time with it.

At times the leading lady and leading man did make me want to smack and shake them and tell them to get out of their own asses...but it happens lol

The only thing that felt a bit ick...and fetishy was the way Jonas kept talking about Sarah's "olive skin"...like excessively. And the first time he mentions wanting to see her skin on his bed...just gave "white man fetishizing another brown girl" vibes... If you are able to look past that the story is a lot of fun. I didn't realized that all 4 books in this series focused on Jonas and Sarah...I thought it was going to feature different couples...I haven't decided if I want to read more or just pretend their HEA started at the end of book one 😅
