fast-paced

NOT FOR ME.

The idea was there. I was hopeful, but I just don’t love the way everything shook out in the end.
I LOVE the concept of a MMC only POV. That’s fun, I haven’t read that before. Within all of that was some of this books downfall. It does not work for me to hear over and over “c*ck twitches, bulging pants, etc.”. It feels like unnecessary innuendo that takes me out of the book each and every time. I get the physical attraction aspect, lets add more to the other elements of a relationship too.
The second chance trope worked. I liked the witness protection program back story (once again, haven’t read that before) which made for some interesting angles. I think it would have been cool to have a little more suspense? I guess this was supposed to be wholly romance though so that’s fine.
I liked the audiobook narrator and I did enjoy most aspects of both characters. There is a third act issue that makes me shake my head. Everything was just okay about this (which makes me sad because I LOVED Siskind’s previous series).
Overall audience notes:
- Contemporary Romance
- Language: strong
- Romance: multiple open; high explicit
- Violence: low
- Trigger/Content Warnings: father in prison, witness protection program, mentions of gang violence, recounted near death injury
