I went in with high expectations for this book and unfortunately it just sort of fell flat.
*spoilers*
I just found this book to be very one toned. I also didn’t 100% believe the romance between Maybe and Jarrett. It was very much lust at first sight. It didn’t help that there were so many huge time jumps that it made it feel very disjointed. Their relationship barely started and all the sudden we’re 6 months in the future.
Also I hate books where the main character hints constantly at having a secret. I also hate books where the main character is constantly thinking how the relationship can never last. It ruins the romance when you’re just waiting for them to break up. And honestly her secret was dumb. I mean I guess she was technically married but he screwed her over and stole all her money.
Her reaction to finding out Jarrett killed him was justified, but I don’t know about her sever guilt. The dude literally stole from you and your mother and yet you feel you should have some undying devotion to him? Then she runs away for 18 months. Girl. If he’s still waiting for you after six months I don’t know why you didn’t run back to him. They were apart longer than they were together. Then they immediately get engaged. Well okay then.
I was also expecting more from the spice in this book. Jarrett gave off kinky as fuck vibes and then overall stayed pretty vanilla beyond some spanking and tying her up.
Overall this book was pretty forgettable.
