I feel like im on the fence with this one. I liked some parts of it. I really liked Mia's character even though she is a pushover. Something about how much she lets herself go when she's in Laz's company made me like her a lot but I genuinely hated how much of a pushover she was. I loved Laz sometimes. Heavy on the sometimes. My main issue with him is he seemed to be uselessly built like a linebacker. Like that guy just got beat up by everyone. He couldn't fight to save his life and to me that's a huge turnoff. It might just be me but I didn't like it. I also felt like the book was too long like when we write our essays and we want to increase the word count. The entire books just felt unfinished, like it didn't go through an editing phase.

"Anything else I should know? Any other insulting colors you'd like to show me?"
I grin, "You're going to hate the bedroom."

I was weak at this line!

I really should not be reading this hotness while at work, but I did.
Oh Miles, my tormented scarred baby boy. I really thought I wouldn't love him like I do Chase and Liam, but let me tell you. I love my Miles Savage. A protective soul, I'd love every inch on him. But his heart belongs to a vibrant, daydreaming babe who turns his grey covered walls into a colorful life.

Stella is a beautiful soul who takes pride in staying strong when Miles' father makes a proposition that is tempting. But she's not truly willing to lose her soul.

What I loved is the beauty and beast vibe, even to the point of the mysterious "cellar" which holds a side of Miles that Stella doesn't know if she's ready but quicker opens to the world she's shown. The angst of this book leads to feel that the final "BAM" scene happens later in the book. Was this a "slow-burn" sorta but leading into a "medium-paced". What we see though is an unlikely couple learning about each other and breaking down the barriers.

now... the spice was spicin' and the romance was there. The commanding presence of Miles and the mouth on this man. I feel that gives a good example of the misconception of the specific "smink", but highlights that when explored properly, it's respectable. We all love what we love as long as everyone agrees and safe. I love that Stella while was shocked was not judgmental and wanted to understand and I feel that's when Miles completely was letting go, when he felt he didn't have to hide or worry what his "wife" thought about it.

What you'll find:
- Arranged marriage/marriage of convenience
- explored "liking seeing other people"
- "that's my wife"
- He's got a secret or a few
- Beauty and the beast vibes!

Dirty talk, praise kink, curvy princess, grumpy tortured hero. Loved it! Excited for book 3
