Overall, an enjoyable installment in this series.
Personally, I was expecting a bit more from this lovely author, especially heat wise. Where was my high heat? Why weren't these two getting it on from at least the halfway point? And getting hot and heavy every which way?
We only got one full sex scene between these two, and about two blow job scenes. I was like...huh? Why are so many more books these days lacking good sex? It truly is a mystery. I remember [b:Want Me|45470330|Want Me (Extracurricular Activities, #1)|Neve Wilder|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1557079207l/45470330._SY75_.jpg|70113474] and how hot and sexy it was, and how they got it on many times, in many places. I mean, this book had these two masturbating while watching each other, but those didn't do much for me, unfortunately *shrug* I did like their actual sex scenes with each other, but again...we barely got any of those.
Where is that? Why was the high heat missing in this? I felt so bereft. I feel like some authors are letting go of hot and heavy sex in their books, and we barely get it nowadays and it is SO disappointing. This book could have been somewhat longer, and that all could have been taken up by at least several more hot and sexy sex scenes between Spencer and Cory, our two MC's.
Seriously makes me worried that some purity culture is getting to authors these days or...if not, I honestly don't know. Ghost writers, maybe? Who aren't as good as writing sex scenes, so they just...don't? I just...don't get it.
Now, was the romance good? For the most part, yes. I enjoyed these two together a lot of the time and while their "I love you" exchange didn't quite feel earned to me, I was feeling the feels between these two and got the sense they were very very into each other.
Maybe doing a little more before the whole "bet" thing comes out in the open would have not only made that revelation pack more of a punch, but it would have made the fallout even worse and harder for Spencer to forgive - but oh the payoff would have been so worth it.
What we got was sweet and cute and "aw" worthy, but I wasn't wowed, exactly, or feeling the passion of being in love I so wanted to feel between these two.
This was still enjoyable, and I still enjoyed both these characters together and apart.
I was just expecting a little more from this lovely author, who I know can do a lot better in certain areas (*cough*mainlythesex*cough*).
But still a good installment in this series and a fun, enjoyable read overall. Definitely a lower rated book for me from this author's works, but still solid on the whole.
Here's hoping for higher - and more frequent - heat next time

As is normal for Ms. Wilder, there are some steamy scenes in this one. But the story was slow for me and very predictable.
Spencer and Cory work together I suppose. They have similar-ish interests and learn to like doing things together. Spencer is wound tight, and Cory is a fun-loving, life-of-the-party guy.
I won’t say much about the plot…the predictability made reading the book easy but there is nothing new here. Everything happens exactly as you’d expect, and things just fall into place for these two.
On to the next one…
