This was hard to rate because I enjoyed it, but it seemed incomplete. Enjoyed the premise. Liked both main characters. Liked the dynamic between the main characters and how the relationship was progressing. At the end, it seemed like this book needed another hundred pages or so to fully develop the romance. 
Spoilers ahead: there's no moment where the FMC tells the MMC she loves him. There's not even an inner monologue where she admits to herself that she loves him. There's no, "I love you", from the MMC to the FMC either. Just a, "might tell you I love you in the future." I understand the characters hadn't known each other long, but that's why the book needed more pages. The epilogue should have been a glimpse into the future for the main couple, where they declare love for one another, instead of a set-up for the next book.
