I really like Sean, and Zenny is amazing, I just don't like them together as much as I liked Poppy and Tyler. Don't get me wrong, the smut was on point and the book was pretty good in general. It's just apparently I feel less weird about a priest having sex than I do about a couple with a 16-ish year age gap.
They do make a beautiful couple, and there's no abuse or grooming here, but I just couldn't wrap my head around such a big difference in age, I don't like it, I never have, and I never will.
Plus a 22 year-old being pregnant just gives me the cringiest cringe.
As a young woman in my twenties trying to figure this shit out, I just don't feel like adulthood really starts until after thirty😂.
Other than that, pretty cool, just couldn't get over it.

I honestly don't know why the reviews for this are so good. I disliked the main character. I have no idea how this man would be anyones type considering how he presents himself and talks/thinks about women. I was surprised that the book is written out of the man's pov, but thought it would be okay, considering a female author wrote it - how I was wrong. I'm not a fan of age gaps, and considering that he is 36 and the first women he meets on a night out - and has really lustering/creepy thoughts about her - just barely turned 21. I can't. It went on like this for a while, I can imagine the plot actually gets better, but I'm not staying to find out. Sorry. dnf.
