Um… where to begin. This book was just average to me, not great but not bad. I really struggled with this one because it only got exciting at around 250 pages. In my opinion, 250 pages is a lot to read while being bored out of your mind, waiting for something exciting to actually happen. I found myself skimming at random points in time, solely reading the dialogue. I had to continuously force myself to stop doing that… but it was a struggle. There was a lot more inner dialogue than anything and it bored me to DEATH!!! I cannot say it enough. HOWEVER, I did like the main male character. He was extremely charming and I enjoyed him thoroughly. LOL. Although, I must also say— I had already figured out the “plot twist” wayyy before the end of the book. It seemed fairly obvious to me. Besides all of that, I did somewhat enjoy the last half of this book. I just hate having to read half a book completely uninterested, as it takes the enjoyment out of reading. I simply cannot DNF books though, so I powered through it. I know this review sounds harsh, but I simply must say what is on my mind. I have to be honest though, I would consider reading the second book if I happened upon it at my local Half Price Books. 🤷🏽‍♀️ (Solely because I love the MMC. Cue the heart eyes.) (If you can’t tell… I have daddy issues.) 

Spice rating: 2-2.5/5 🌶️

I really liked it. Found the world building to be a little confusing but I know as I continue it'll make more sense. Loved the characters. Had me kicking my feet and smiling a bit
