I really think after this one I’ve realized as much as I like Claire Kent, Noelle Adams just isn’t for me. The writing, the way the romance is written, the strangely vague sex scenes that involve a lot of lying on one another and “intimate stroking”… In this one in particular I wasn’t a huge fan of the hero, who talks about his promise to his cousin to take care of his widow and son even after the hero is already friends with the heroine (why bring patriarchal protection shit into it?) and who continually gets moody and withdrawn instead of just talking to her. (Or shaming the way she’s dressing to go out with her friends instead of saying he’s threatened by the idea of her going out to meet someone new because he’s romantically interested in her.) Stuff like that.
