slow burn? yes it was driving me CRAZY.

Just meh. Aaron feels too perfect to be real and their love story is just okay. She wasn't specially likeable either. I appreciated that the author included the sexism in the workplace, though.
Also, I found her family's description too stereotypical (I'm Spanish too).

Absolutely adorable romance. Just the right amount of characters, and an interesting plot. Lots of sexy scenes. I really wish the Male Lead had been granted more time to explore his backstory. I thought that was far more compelling than the Female Lead's story, even if those scenes were rushed. The two main character have wonderful chemistry. It was extremely enjoyable to see them interact.

It was fine.
it was cringy at times, which could've been avoided idk... the characters are cool ig, the pacing was the best thing about the book. Sometimes the characters kept saying the same things over and over so it got kinda annoying and repetitive.
It was a fun read nevertheless.

Aaron Blackford is now my new book boyfriend. Okay seriously, the first half was great. I loved seeing all the yearning and pining. But the second half just couldn't hold my attention. Also, the second half has a lot of cheesy lines which made me skim a bit. Still it was a fun read
