I can’t lie, I found this easy and fun to read, but there were also lots of things I didn’t enjoy about this. The pace was just too fast. It felt unrealistic how quickly they fell for each other and there also seemed to be some misogynistic undertones to some of the things that were said that threw me off? The steamy scenes were good but again it felt like the narration was being used to convince us there was a connection. Also so many characters but the family tree at the back did help me keep track. The plot was just too fast paced for me and the chemistry felt forced. I didn’t find the main female character particularly likeable. Narration also felt repetitive and slightly cringey at times.
