But anyways, I love the dynamic between Allie and Dean. It doesn't feel force, although at first it felt it was so that they both have attraction towards each other. After Allie and Sean broke up and her get together with Dean kinda feel like a bit force because she suddenly feel sexually attracted to him. As for him, he's attracted to every vagina haver. I always liked Dean since The Deal. IDK male characters who are a manwhore always makes me giggle and have a soft spot for them in my heart (IRL? No.). What I like abt Dean, beside high active sex life is how his character now one dimensional. Which a lot of male characters tend to be one dimensional not matter what the trope is. I guess that's the problem with current romance books. Writing and selling books solely based on tropes bcs marketing strategy. Which goes into that this series was released b4 trope were introduced. I also like how his rich family background is not the main issue. His family is very supportive and very refreshing to me. It's rare that character who comes from a rich family don't have a dark and sad tragic backstory. I don't think he doesn't have any tragic backstory that haunts him wholly. Which mould together perfectly with Allie as she has tragic backstory. And again, a rare thing to happen because it's usually the male characters.
Because of the reasons above, I gave this a 4.5⭐ I really enjoyed it. I love this more than The Deal. But sometimes I really do wish we get to read from Garrett, Logan and Hannah’s POV to see the outlook of Dean and Allie’s relationship. Especially Logan’s, I want to read what goes through his head during and after the bathroom scene LMAO.
EDIT: I’m giving this a 4.25 after a few days of reconsideration that the start off for Allie and Dean’s relationship wasn't so smooth as currently I’m reading Tucker’s book (The Goal) and realizing the same thing. Same thing with Logan and Grace’s relationship (The Mistake). I feel like Garrett's and Hannah’s relationship that I feel very genuine and well written relationship in this series.

After three books with a similar premise it's getting hard to keep the characters/couples apart.
