This wasn't bad, but I just wasn't feeling it.
I like a big stoic protective man pining away for his love interests as much as anyone, so I had big hopes for this book! However, something was missing for me to become even remotely invested.
The writing was extremely dragged out and the whole book ended up feeling kind of boring because of it. There was an excruciating amount of detail put into each scene and I was told so many uninteresting things I couldn't possibly care any less about. Just give me the romance and stop it with all the rest! Seriously, I really don't care about all the other stuff. This book was already way longer than it needed to be, so about half of it feels like it could and should have been cut.
I also struggled to see the connection between the couple: they had a few cute interactions, but why do they feel the way they do? I'm not sure.
Maybe it was the slow pacing, maybe it was the single POV, or maybe it was the fact that they were already in love since before the book even started so we missed the entire build-up; whatever it was, I simply did not enjoy reading this.
