3.0

A hallmark romance of a book. The characters and their problems are a little shallow, but they resolve them and everyone's happy in the end. If you're looking for some fluffy romance with a little bit of smut this would fit the bill, but it won't satisfy the urge if you like your characters to have depth. I especially didn't appreciate that one character is mourning the death of someone very close, and it's used as a tool for the romance but otherwise doesn't come across in the character. There's also a scene where the successful lawyer adult man is bewildered by periods which felt very unbelievable as he's supposed to be experienced with women...and it's 2022. A real romantic hero would be completely capable of doing your period shopping for you and not need a woman to swoop in. Just sayin'.
