I didn’t like the MCs very much and didn’t see anything real in their connection. We’re they sexually attracted to one another? Sure. Did they have any sort of connection outside of the bedroom? Nope. Asher was cringy for me. I love dirty talk in my smut scenes, but there’s something about Asher and what he said that gave me the ick. He just didn’t do it for me. Phoebe was fine. I felt she wasn’t really a sunshine character, and at times, it felt like she was a little immature. Their age difference wasn’t a big deal because they’re both adults, and I’m not sure why it was brought up as much as it was. It got to be annoying each time he brought up Phoebe being younger than Brynn.
I enjoyed the deaf representation and the way the author handled Olivia and how certain things may affect her world. That was something you don’t see often, and it was nice to see in a story. As someone that isn’t hard of hearing or deaf, I have no way of knowing how accurate it was, but Olivia was my favorite character.
Overall, this just wasn’t a good read for me. I’m not sure if I’m invested enough to read the others in this new series, but who knows?
