I personally found this really fucking stupid for numerous reasons. Do yourself a favor and skip this whole series.
- Miscommunication trope
- Insta-love
- Juvenile
- Cheesy ass dialogue
- Not believable.
I just want to say, I know most romance authors are women. So obviously male characters will be influenced by that. However, this was supposed to be some sexy male, yet it’s sooo obvious that a male wouldn’t act that way. (I’m not trying to put rules on how men should/would/do act). It’s hard to explain it clearly, but normally authors do a good job at nuancing traits to make the male POV believable. This was a hot mess and I regret the two hours spent reading this. I realize now why I originally DNF. I only picked it back up bc a booktuber I liked recommended it...
