Omg WHY is this book loved by so many! It’s like the writer did not have one original thought in the entire book. She read and watched romance novels and used every cringy trope out there!
It is simply not ok for a guy to treat you like crap one second and then be nice the next. Him giving you a ride to the mall does not erase him yelling at you or talking to you like you’re a piece of meat!
I swear authors and screenwriters need to stop trying to portray that men who act all gruff are hot and just because deep deep down they have a good heart it’s ok to accept their horrid mannerisms!!
Don’t even get me started on how pathetic Naomi’s character is! She literally has no backbone. He barges into her house and demands sex and somehow that’s supposed to be sweet. I don’t think so!
God! How is such stupidity still published and loved by so many.

Kept seeing this book being talked about everywhere and finally went for it and bought the whole series when it went on sale. I liked other peoples fan cast which originally made me want to read it. I didn’t hate the book and I enjoyed the writing but it definitely won’t go on my favorites list. It threw me off when I found out the mmc was over 40. I’m used to reading college age stuff because I still identify as a teenager 🥴 (I’m 30) so it kind of put me off a little bit with him being so old 🤣 (no offense) but I was like I’m going to give it a chance because I’m older now. That being said….

I loved the story line with Tina being the troubled twin and Naomi staying to take care of Waylay (what an odd name) the niece she didn’t know she had. That story line was perfect in my opinion it would have been much better with just that. Without the romance part because Knox sucked. He’s a 40 year old man who acts like a child. He seemed so hateful to her for no reason. He just wasn’t that lovable like some of the other characters. And then she told him the story about Warner being a dick while drunk and then he goes and basically acts just like him minus the abuse because he’s drunk when he’s the one who ended it. That whole scene rubbed me the wrong way. I did like Knox at certain parts but not enough to really make me love the book. I think I’d much rather have Naomi with Nash instead. Or just Naomi learning on her own how to be a mother to Waylay.
