While there are certain aspects of this book which I enjoyed, there are other aspects which I didn't. Sometimes I liked the lead characters, Logan and Grace. I thought they had good chemistry together, which kept me invested in the book. Others times, they grated me, like with their sexism and misogyny. I found both to be excessively harsh to Ramona. Grace especially made me dislike her after she victim blames Ramona, who was kidnapped and almost sexually assaulted by a group of guys. Logan's dislike of Ramona felt too over-the-top especially considering how he made things uncomfortable with Garrett and Hannah. Both characters were a bit too judgmental for me.

As a whole, the book is a fast read. There's not a lot of in depth writing for Grace and Logan's relationship. It's very much an insta-lust connection. I do think they had spark together. There's a good amount of steam in the book. I just think the author could have done a better job developing their romance; and, also, Grace as a character. By the end of the book, I felt like I understood Logan more as a character then I did Grace.

Oh man.. This book was a total let down for me. After reading "the deal" which I liked (loved the characters even more) I was excited to start this one. Honestly it was just bad. The misogyny was huge and the sexualization of and by everyone disgusted me. Well, if the plot and the characters were fine I would be nicer right now but they weren't. The attraction between Logan and Grace was only physical (emotional at the end you could argue) and I disliked the whole character palette except Hannah and Garett moments <3 The plot and background stories were "fine" but not deep. All of this makes me sad because I know the potential was there but the execution horrible. 2 stars for trying and I'm a really nice rater right now.

18+. this book has a lot of problems and is definitely ignorant in some regards but it was a cute book. the ✨spicy✨ scenes were fun and the relationship between the two was not fully boring.

Why I keep reading this book if I do not like them?
Because my friends and I we have like a book club and we choose books and this one was the one that got majority of votes.
I will take a break from this stories because is too much testosterone for me.
I like new adult and I like romance but is too much male alpha stuff together.
