It was going really well for the most part, I was excited and basically ate through the first 85% of the book. Having read hate to love romances, I still have some doubt that this can be categorized as such. *Spoiler ahead* Aaron liking her beforehand but him just being cold did not make much sense, and the way he quickly changed, almost instantly, and without much fight felt somehow naïve to me.
*Spoiler ended*
I don't expect romances to be mind blowing by any means, I do read them just for pleasure and as a palette cleanser from other harder topic books, and I was very happy with the first bit of the book. The ending however, especially the chapter before the last, felt like it went on forever, and without much substance really, the same words being spoken over and over just had me skimming.
Overall, worthy of a read, it was spicy and sexy and fun.
