i liked the first book of the series better, if for no other reason than i don’t know how i feel about age gap and virgin/playboy tropes. you do uncover more of the Bell family lore though and i had tears in my eyes every time he talked about his mom. her dying slowly throughout the whole book is heartbreaking
there were also a few cringey moments both in and out of the smut scenes which i didn’t experience with priest

lisape_07's review against another edition
I honestly don't know why the reviews for this are so good. I disliked the main character. I have no idea how this man would be anyones type considering how he presents himself and talks/thinks about women. I was surprised that the book is written out of the man's pov, but thought it would be okay, considering a female author wrote it - how I was wrong. I'm not a fan of age gaps, and considering that he is 36 and the first women he meets on a night out - and has really lustering/creepy thoughts about her - just barely turned 21. I can't. It went on like this for a while, I can imagine the plot actually gets better, but I'm not staying to find out. Sorry. dnf.
