Well, this was... disappointing. The plot had potential but the overly unnecessary smut didn't give it enough room to grow.
Bear in mind, I like the Off Campus and Briar U series, and do expect the smut and some quirky characters. However, there was something about this book that was off-putting. I only finished reading it because I fell in love with Hannah and Garrett in The Deal, and wanted to give their daughter a chance. But, shucks! Gigi is definitely not a loveable character.
The whole ex-boyfriend situation being treated like it was a cheating scenario was absolutely ridiculous! The exhibitionism was weird af. The way the marriage trope was done is tasteless.
Anyway, this is definitely not my favorite Elle Kennedy book.
