There were things at the beginning of the book that almost made me DNF. Weirdly (and thankfully), they disappeared and weren't in the rest of the book. Thank god. I actually liked these characters and their story so it would have been a shame if I had DNF'ed it. These were in the inner monologue:
- "It's what the youth are calling... the finance bros. *Shudders*"
- The mention of 'girl dinner'
- "(...) only to realize the stench *whispers* was me".
- "Gasp, what if he (...)"
- "Yet here we are, taking the W".
The following were said out loud:
- "You know, as Sabrina Carpenter would say, we have really good bed chem"
- "You can't let him live rent-free inside your head"
Now that we got that out of the way.. I liked the MMC a lot. He's kind, takes care of his brother and doesn't expect anything in return. He's bored and says yes to helping the FMC by acting as her husband. This is a fake dating story, about a divorced 29-year-old FMC and a rich 27-year-old MMC.
It does get spicy at one point, and I feel like there should have been more discussion about boundaries between the two. Hair-pulling, spanking and certain toys just seem like things you want to be sure the other person will enjoy as well, ya know.

Unfortunately I really disliked the MC. She was perpetually overreacting to small things or misunderstandings, and I lost track of how often she commented on our love interest being too young for her. It’s rare that I don’t finish audiobooks but this one was a drag

I have really been wanting to get back into Meghan Quinn’s books and this was the perfect book to do it. I truly enjoyed this book, the slow burn was a little too slow for me, and the FMC did annoy me a tad tad bit. But, I did enjoy everything else about the story. Let me start by saying Wilder has my heart the way he was wrote to be so open and honest about so much made me tear up towards the end. He was so open about his trauma and why he needed to take a step back to figure out himself before a relationship. I loved Scottie she was such a fun FMC to read and I loved how she was ready to stand up against everyone to prove she able to hold her own. She for sure broke her walls down after a bad breakup, and I enjoyed that. I enjoyed how the chemistry was truly slow, but when it busted open it just flowed so fast. I think what I love about Meghan’s books is she knows how to banter and bring the spice and balance it all. Truly such a perfect summer romance! 🥰
