Thoughts 💭
Slow burn romance novels are the best and most frustrating type of book. I spent an unholy amount of time arguing with these characters to finally make a move and get together. But I find they form deeper and stronger bonds because of how well they get to know each other.
By the time the book is starting to sizzle Cam is able to pinpoint Adalyn and her quirks. Initially I found Adalyn the queen of pity parties, by the end of the book she redeemed herself greatly in my eyes. The banter between the characters was phenomenal, and the U10 soccer team girls were next level with their antics. Maria being my absolute favourite, her 9 year old wisdom was a perfect voice of reason.
I thoroughly enjoyed Cam & Adalyn's love. Giggling and smiling while reading made me very excited to start The Fiancee Dilemma!
