Unfortunately, this book was simply not for me. 

This was a first for me by this author. I saw a lot of promo for it and was super excited to receive a gifted copy from Hambright PR. Forced proximity, fake relationship, and brother's best friend are a few of my favorite tropes... I did not love their execution in this story. It was definitely hard to push through and finish.

It didn’t peak my interest and I don’t love the 15 year age gap. It feels creepy and weird.

Mass amount of typos made it had to read and as a baker some of the conconctions just would have not work. More research needed.

I just can’t stay interested. It’s cheesy and all over the place. There are plot holes and the characters don’t make sense. I don’t like the writing style and there’s so much of the story that just didn’t need to be included. I really tried to like this.

Very slow moving the mmc kept going between wanting her and not and I just wanted him to voice a reason why not by now.
