Lemme say this: as someone who does not often get into romance novels and also at 19 had someone be my first to get it out of the way… if I could rewrite history, this is how I would have it go down. 1000%.
I wish we could have seen more dedicated moments of their emotional connection but damn were the steamy scenes good. I have to laugh at how Giana was basically a natural but hey, good for her. I won’t lie, though, I cringed a bit at the ending with the scene Clay pulled. Was it corny and cute? Sure. But it was still cringe. I love them though, it really wasn’t hard to root for them.
<Spoiler>I was VERY concerned for a moment there when G went to Shawn’s house. I get that we’re not supposed to like him, that really he’s the “smooth-talking player” type or whatever that everyone thinks Clay is, but I thought that scene was going to turn out different. I hate that it took G saying she had a boyfriend to snap him out of it yet at least it didn’t go the direction I thought it might for a second. Frankly it would have not fit into the book at all imo so I’m glad my fears did not become reality.</Spoiler>
