fun story- not my kind of spice, but good for her.

length - just right

Well, we made it through. Almost DNF’d a few times. 

This one started so strong, but an intriguing dark romance plot. But then once the couple got together it was just sex. I don’t know if it’s just me, but when a couple decides they love each other but their relationship is only sex, I have a hard time believing it. There has to be more substance. But no, literally every chapter is a very intense and graphic sex scene. 

I think this book could have been about 150 pages shorter. It felt really drawn out. 

Also, new ick unlocked: he can smell that she’s ovulating?!! Absolutely not. 

Check the trigger warnings. I enjoy dark romances but this one was unfortunately not it. 

🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️/5

The dynamic between the MFC and MMC was awkward. I liked the mountain broody cowboy thing but the spice was just meh. More so the description not the actual acts (if that makes sense). Just wasn’t holding my attention long enough.
