I know that age-gap romance is a fantasy thing, but when it is in such a realistic setting it just makes me feel uncomfortable.
But only because of how it is portrayed...
With her being 19 and him being 33 when they made out andhim telling her how in that moment he knew he wanted her to be his when they are intimate for the first time.
Because that did not need to happen this way.
I also dislike how the mMC and the fMCs older brother are supposed to be "best buds" but when it comes to showing their relationship the author decided to skip the parts as in every time they interact your only being told about how "mMC and fMCs brother are now sharing inside jokes"...
The book kind of started to bore me as the trauma and drama is there but any plot is missing (and romance books can have a- if not more - plotlines apart from the MCs getting together) just give me something, like getting to know the characters apart from each other.
Spice(quantity&quality):
3.25/5
The spice helped the book...
There was variety, the scenes were detailled and fit the characters.
