jc_wb's review against another edition

The plot was vaguely interesting, I was hoping for a spicy Hallmark-esque story. The FMC is a grieving mess who makes bad decision after bad decision, usually involving too much wine. The MMC is an upright writer, completely undone by seeing a bra through a t-shirt (and needs help for his

face down masturbation and the amount of times he masturbated thinking about the bra

. The spicy scenes mainly made me cringe - the kitchen scene?! But I was willing to finish the story until

he'd realised she's a virgin due to how "tight" she was - with his finger

and shortly after that nightmare said

"I love you like this. Drowsy and pinned to the ground where you can't make trouble."

.

I finished the chapter but couldn't pick it up again after the creepy misogyny.

Sadly I've already bought another one of the author's books (different series). I'll give it a try but not hoping out much hope.
