very very slow, i’m more into fast paced. plus im not really into age gap romances. i skipped ahead multiple times and it just never clicked with me. the characters made me feel gross.

samflowerv6's review against another edition

I held on long enough!!! Not for me. I just couldn’t bring myself to finish.  The whole storyline just made me so depressed and her swearing with bird words?? Just the love interest thought so poorly of her for the most part and her character made me sad in a way that ruined my experience reading this. Will not continue reading this series. All the situations in this book are distressing in some way

I really enjoyed this book, but the main character, Aurora “Rory”, would occasionally make me cringe with the things she said and her “bird curses” annoyed me to all hell. Other than that, I have no complaints

I loved this book! This was a great way to kick off this series. I ate this up very quickly. From the plot to the character development it was chef’s kiss. Can’t wait to continue with the other stories!

This was straight hot garbage that I read for guilty pleasure. From writing style to the plot, things made little sense to me and there was a lot of unnecessary drama and plot holes. 

First let's get into the heroine, who's the dumbest person I've ever read about. She wasn't very likeable and had a quirky ass personality with the constant bird puns. She makes

certain decisions like signing away her life to a 70-yr-old fat creep without researching and is effectively a damsel in distress.

 

The hero isn't any better too with the specific flaws in the writing style. The only redeemable part of this book was the smut.

2.75

Second rating: 3
First rating: 2.75
I sat down and really pondered what to rate this book. The rating might change.... it might stay the same. Idk.

I did not particularly enjoy the first 60-70% of this book. It wasn't bad but idk I spent a good portion of it mentally telling Rory she's a victim and needs to somehow magically get out of her situation. 

The last 30% tho... ate that shit up like I get what the dark romance girls love . . . A Lil bit. 

I wanted to make this a 3 star so bad but like the handful of references that she's young enough to be his daughter, and other things did not sit right with me. 

Somehow Angelo is simultaneously a horrible man and yet no one is doing it like him.

This book did achieve something tho, the fact that I'm conflicted on how to rate is proof enough because it's not bad enough to deserve anything less than a 3 but it's not good enough to sit with my other 3 stars yk. 

I had a time in those last percentages so maybe I'll just rate that and give it a nice 2.75. . Maybe
