She wasn’t what I’d wanted in a wife, but hell, if she wasn’t exactly what I needed.

This was an interesting read. I actually thought about dnfing bcs the beginning felt a bit boring and humorless. I also had a hard time getting to like the MCs in the beginning. But I couldn't stop lmao. It was a one day read so I thought "Ehh let's keep going." 

Smut wise I was a bit disappointed. There's good smut don't get me wrong but there could have been way more. There were scenes that could have become such great smut scenes that were basically overwritten saying "they had sex." Or " they made love." Overall I would give the smut a 2,5/5 🌶. 

This was definitely the kinda book were I came for the smut and stayed for the plot—which was incredible btw I liked it more than I would have thought. 

I'm glad I didn't dnf lol.
