While there are certain aspects of this book which I enjoyed, there are other aspects which I didn't. Sometimes I liked the lead characters, Logan and Grace. I thought they had good chemistry together, which kept me invested in the book. Others times, they grated me, like with their sexism and misogyny. I found both to be excessively harsh to Ramona. Grace especially made me dislike her after she victim blames Ramona, who was kidnapped and almost sexually assaulted by a group of guys. Logan's dislike of Ramona felt too over-the-top especially considering how he made things uncomfortable with Garrett and Hannah. Both characters were a bit too judgmental for me.

As a whole, the book is a fast read. There's not a lot of in depth writing for Grace and Logan's relationship. It's very much an insta-lust connection. I do think they had spark together. There's a good amount of steam in the book. I just think the author could have done a better job developing their romance; and, also, Grace as a character. By the end of the book, I felt like I understood Logan more as a character then I did Grace.

Logan and Grace, aww! I have to admit, when I started this one I was kind of annoyed with Logan and did not understand why he was hung-up on his best friend’s girl 👀 but all became clear in the end! There were ups and downs, as there always are in contemporary romance. Some of the one-liners made me LOL. And some good spice throughout the WHOLE book 👌🏻🌶 entertaining and each character still had depth with their family backstories.

18+. this book has a lot of problems and is definitely ignorant in some regards but it was a cute book. the ✨spicy✨ scenes were fun and the relationship between the two was not fully boring.

Why I keep reading this book if I do not like them?
Because my friends and I we have like a book club and we choose books and this one was the one that got majority of votes.
I will take a break from this stories because is too much testosterone for me.
I like new adult and I like romance but is too much male alpha stuff together.
