I liked this enough to finish but it had some issues for me. This is marketed as a brother’ friend/teammate story. That doesn’t even come in until 40% of the way in. The MMC and the brother haven’t been on the same team or really talked since college. The FMC is very immature and hypocritical. She’s mad at her mom for lying and then turns around and lies to the MMC for basically all of their relationship until they are caught by the brother. There also wasn’t really a whole lot of connection between the two mains. They mostly had great sex and called it love. The MMC did open up slightly to the FMC but it just didn’t seem like a super deep connection/relationship. I’ll probably read the next one because I like the character it is about.

Rowan and Kyleigh had a lot of great chemistry! Rowan was a great mix of sweet and slightly broody. He was really giving Lucas Scott (before we all realized he sucked) energy. I loved that Kyleigh was able to seek solace in him while she was going thru so much and he did an amazing job of being there for her and allowing her to find herself while supporting her, but not pushing.  I felt like this book got so close so many times to really cresting over into that place where I’m incredibly emotionally invested but it didn’t quite get there. I feel like with just a little more back story on Kyleigh and her family, or Rowan and his, or his relationship with Connor it would have gotten there. I also fee like it sort of touched on how his Mr heartbreaker nickname was falsely earned, but didn’t really get any clarification on how that happened or what his previous relationships really looked like. That kept this book in the fun romcom category for me, which is still a GREAT read, but it felt like it could have been and wanted to be more. I also can’t wait for Henry and twitters stories bc I feel like they are going to be amazing!
