Rarely do I roll my eyes at yet another smut scene, but in this case it was more erotica than romance, especially MMC's POV was just sex oriented. The writing style itself wasn't that bad, and the overall plot was interesting but Lonan was one of the worst MMC's ever.

He leaked the news, he threw a tantrum she doesn't want to marry him when she barely admitted they're together, he packed her stuff and left it at the consierge, he took the ex-hookup as a date?????

and more! Honestly in the end i was rolling my eyes and hoping for someone better for her. He's just so self obsessed and there was close to none connection presented between them on the page besides sex, sex, sex. The "deep conversations" were just mentioned off page, like how much he's opening about his family, but then couple chapters later she asked him like a basic question she should know. The book had potential and the writing too, but there was just too much unlikeable, inexusable behaviour.
