This book was fine. It had some nice and steamy love scenes (and generously sprinkled throughout the book), but I think the chemistry between the characters relied too much on a “primal man’s man with a strong yet delicate damsel” for my taste. The main character puts up with a lot of catcalling and sexual harassment, and the LIs don’t discuss consent nearly as much as they should.

I really enjoyed this book. I appreciate having a mc that genuinely took the time to work through her issues and a love that bloomed over time and wasn’t instantaneous. Reading a couple that was more than sexual chemistry and was supportive and patient and willing to endure through the bad stuff really warmed my heart. This was a great read.
