Wasn’t the biggest fan of the writing style or the characters but they did have their moments especially at the end where she was apologizing and explaining why she started dating Damien in the first place. I liked the guy more than the girl because I did think the fmc was dumb af LMAOO and had her standards in HELL fr. In the first chapter where her ex breaks up with her, she makes a comment to herself saying that he’s a gentleman and loves that he opens the door for her when she literally had to go downstairs on her own to his car bc he was too lazy to pick her up at the door of her apartment and quite literally unlocks and PUSHES the car door to her while he’s still sitting in the drivers seat😃 Something else that gave me the ick were his nicknames for her (naranja and rubia). As a latina reading about him call her that, felt so out of place and weird it was as if the author was trying to be cute and remind us he spoke Spanish every time he said it. I’m assuming she was trying to use rubia as a replacement for “blondie” in English but it’s not the same😭 it felt like a random placeholder to me. The smut scenes were also kind of hit or miss tbh. His dirty talk was ok and the description for the scenes weren’t that well written. These are all just my own opinion, so if they don’t bother you feel free to read :)

Incredible chemistry, awesome pacing. The conflict was mostly internal, and it never felt too played out or like it dragged on for no reason.
This man had me blushing forreal
