If I wasn’t listening to the audiobook this definitely would’ve been a dnf for me. I feel like there was no character development early on, all we learned about them was that Avery is ‘one of the guys’ and decklan has daddy&commitment issues. It feels like the author tried to make cute moments but I never felt smiley or giggly reading it, never really felt the connection between the characters. The end was so drawn out, obviously they needed it but it was a very annoying conflict and the book felt repetitive brining up the same problems over and over again. It annoyed me how introspective they all of a sudden we’re at the end. Glad it’s over

I'm a huge fan of forced proximity and I loved that aspect in this book. I suppose since they were roommates already in it was a little different. It still entertaining!
Avery goes through quite an ordeal in this book, but truthfully Declan does too - just more emotional than physical. I really appreciated watching him grow throughout this book.
Avery is definitely not perfect, but I was impressed with her resilience.
The sparks in this book were amazing but it was really the last part where they put real work into their relationship that impressed me.
I did find a few parts where it seemed repetitive and unnecessary throughout the book - like what you might see in the second or third book in a series as a reminder. But perhaps I was just sensitive to repetition today
Overall a good read and I look forward to the other books in the series.
I received an advanced copy of this book through NetGalley. This is my honest review.
