Audio Review

This one wasn't too bad. It was quite an interesting and emotional story and the characters were so good. I especially loved Reed Ryan as he was such a caring person and super protective of his loved ones. He was also so patient with Emma, who clearly has a lot of trust issue with men.

Emma, on the other hand, annoyed me. I understand she had a very traumatic past and it's clear why she behaves in certain ways. However, she is clearly someone who struggles with trust and has dealt with a lot of sh*t and should've gone to therapy. The fact that she didn't seek out help or that it's not even mentioned in this book was shocking to me. It just felt like it was a god opportunity to have mental health / therapy rep.

Reed Ryan was honestly the reason why I kept listening.
