The book was entertaining, but the romance felt shallow and the plot lacked depth. To me, Josh and Ally mostly had a physical connection. The author did not convince me that they had a real connection.

A long very spicy book with actual plot is a rare find and I enjoyed this quite a bit. The characters had layers and trauma, and were snarky. I enjoyed the banter, and Fred 🐈
