This is not my genre. I would never pick up and read this book for fun - only because bookclub was reading it. I found it repetitive, predictable & boring. I hate romance. I dislike erotica. I especially hate reading the same scene from two different perspectives, repeatedly.

It’s hard to feel bad for a model and jfk jr basically but they do have their issues. Rich people problems. But I could not put it down. I rooted for them. I loved the side characters. Then the ending is so intense. It’s definitely worth a read as a slightly intense beach read
