Ohmygod. I 𝗡𝗘𝗘𝗗 James and I 𝗡𝗘𝗘𝗗 him now. He has very quickly become a new book boyfriend and I'm okay with that.

I absolutely loved the fact that this audiobook had dual narration because holy cow, James' voice 🥵🥵🥵

Instantly we are thrown into the chemistry and the connection that the two MCs share. But they both decide to have a summer fling, ask no questions and agree to leave each other at the end of it. But things quickly get deeper than either of them thought possible. I really thought I knew what I was getting into with this one but the jokes on me because I was floored!

The plot on this book is absolutely incredible! The twist had me gasping. Because seriously what the heck?!?!?

** READ AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION -- I will do my best to keep this post spoiler free **

“These kisses of his...they're demanding and possessive. They're hungry and deep. They're the kisses of a man who wants more of a woman—who wants everything—and isn't going to stop until he gets it."

Author Olivia Rossi hasn’t been able to write a word since tragedy struck two years ago and ripped her world apart. Heartbroken and still haunted by the past, she accepts an offer to spend the summer at a friend’s apartment in Paris in search of healing and her lost muse.

What she finds instead is James, an enigmatic stranger who ignites in her an unexpected and all-consuming passion.

Agreeing to tell each other nothing more than their first names, Olivia and James embark on a torrid affair. But the more time they spend together, the more Olivia begins to realize her summer fling is turning into a powerful connection…and that the magnetic man she’s falling in love with might not be what he seems at all.

First things first -- I am shook that this is a highly recommended read. This book was absolutely not for me.

I had no issues with the writing of the book, mainly the plot.

I loved the beginning of the book. I thought the storyline was good and the spice was *chefs kiss*. Then comes chapter 23 where I got completely lost. The plot twist that was revealed was very sudden and really didn't make much sense to me. The pace of the book was accelerating and I wasn't keeping up. A lot of stuff happened at the same time.

Then in chapter 25/26 the plot kind of redeemed itself and I was here for it. I was like okay, that makes a little sense, I can see why she went this direction.

Then the next plot twist happens and I LOVED it. I thought it was amazing. I think she should have ended the book right then. No need to go further. If the author would have ended it here (if you know, you know) I feel that this book would have been phenomenal and I probably would have given it 4 or 5 stars.

Well, the author took it a little further. The last plot twist was not it for me. I was so confused and now the book really doesn't make any sense to me. I feel like the author had a really good concept with how she wanted to write this book, I just feel it was poorly executed.

The ending of this book was a little disturbing to me. I don't understand why that was necessary. I feel like the last sentence could have been omitted and I wouldn't have hated the ending. Just saying.

If you have any questions or would like a little more detail on my review - you can reach out via instagram. My handle is reading_with.amber -- Sorry for my vagueness - I really don't want to spoil it for anyone.
