This one was probably my least favorite of the series. The relationship development between Brook and Dimitri didn't make a lot of sense to me because there really wasn't any development. Dimitri is Brook's mate-for-hire, the sleep together sometimes, but there is very little talking. Dimitri only really opens up once to talk about his family. Brook and Dimitri realistically develop a nice friends with benefits type of relationship. It felt very out of left field when all of a sudden they were professing their love to each other at the end with their first kiss, all the while Dimitri is constantly insisting he's VERY straight and Brook is strictly a top. I will say, what happened with Brook's family in the end was pretty satisfying. I found it entertaining enough to finish, but this one is pretty low on my list of the Mismatched Mates series thus far.
