This book can be devided into two parts:
The first deserves between 2.5 stars to 3. Is it memorable? Not really. Is it entertaining? Hell, yeah! The first part is ur typical rivals to lovers with bickering couple. My only problem is with their age. The man is in his 40 and refuses to be with the FMC cause his dad was accused of sexual misconduct. I repeat the MC is in his 40 and DOEASN'T KNOW HOW TO DIFFRENTIATE BETWEEN CONCENT, HARASSMENT, AND RAPE. also, the way the 2 characters fight is childish, it' really unfit fr ppl in their 40s 😑. However, this part is passable if u imagine them in their 20s.
The second part is shit. It deserves 0 and reduced the book experience from 2.5 to 0.25. Let me tell u the way the MC pulled his asshole move made him shit beyond compare. The MC is already not that amazing 🙄. I mean he is a 40 smthing dude that still dsnt differentiate comsent from non consent and blame all his issues on his daddy problems. Not the best MC out there and to top it with that last problem. This dude deserves the trash and that is all. The resolve of the problem was also very demmening to the FMC like lady where did all that self esteem go.
My advice to romance authors, this is smthing I noticed in many books, stop when it's time to stop u dnt have to drag the damn book. Also, if u want to write mature characters please do them justice. People tend to evolve the older they gt 😑 or make them young.
