Bad Habit by K.A. Mitchell
3.0
Meh. I’ve read all 6 books in this series and I keep thinking that I’m done with the series, but I keep coming back.
I had two big problems with this one. First - serious showing vs telling discrepancy. The book kept telling me how great the two protagonists were for each other, but I didn’t see a lot of evidence of that, aside from the scorching hot sex. In particular, people in Liam’s life were concerned about him getting back together with his volatile ex who a) punched him in the face when they first reconnected and b) kept getting fired for losing his temper at work. Liam’s reasons and excuses for why Scott was the one sounded like pretty textbook red flags. I was totally team Liam’s mom here. I don’t have a lot of confidence they’ll last as a couple.
Second (and this is my personal quirk) - TMI about everybody’s sex lives. Ugh. La la la, not listening. There are a lot of cameos and supporting roles by characters from other books and there’s more public discussion of some of their sex lives (in front of acquaintances not bffs) than I’m comfortable with.
