Secretly Yours by Tessa Bailey

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.

It’s was ok. My least favorite Tessa Bailey book I’ve read so far. The oddly dramatic break up and then getting back together all in the last few pages was weird.

I think Tessa Bailey is just not my cup of tea. I don’t love her men that she writes.

I thought the characters were interesting but I disliked the

virgin aspect to the story

. I don't enjoy women who are infantalised and men who are written like they're constantly teaching a 30 year old grown woman. Those aspects would be okay if they are eventually turned on their head in some way but they aren't here and it just fell flat for me because of that.
