Okay, this book obviously wasn’t a masterpiece, but for the most part it gave me what I was looking for in a why-choose. It was short and annoying predictable with very little relationship development and a little cringey. But, it was unique to me in the sense that I got a why-choose where the guys hadn’t done that before, which was interesting to see, even though very little substantive conflict actually arose from that. Overall though, a fluffy read that gave me what I wanted for the most part — this series isn’t a bad pick to continue for more why-choose desires. Here’s some thoughts I had while reading:

  • Ew the FMC’s name is Trina??
  • Her nickname is dumb too
  • The first spicy scene ended too abruptly — like yes leave people wanting more but close it out better
  • I like how the author is not trying to be all romantic about the sex, it’s literally like “this is good sex”
  • Some of this dialogue/narration is so cringey, like millennial phrases 
  • Okay the perv dog humping everything is a very weird plot point
  • It’s starting to get a little cringier with the dialogue
  • The third act conflict was so predictable but also like the tame prediction which was kinda lame, like now jock value at all
  • I don’t get why this book had such a short timeline, like it could’ve easily been much longer and more realistic without changing any plot points
  • The MC’s family and friends having basically no issues with the arrangement when they got together is kind of a wild choice but whatever
