Didn't really love this one as much as I could have. While the smut when it turned up was really good, I didnt much like the main characters. Elouise was fine enough. Other than fixating on someone for 20 years, she was sweet as a small town elementary school teacher but there was just something not very special about her. Even so, that was my issue as much as Beckett.
There was literally no real reason for her to have liked him other than her childhood crush and then him being hot when they're older.
Beckett if anything was a bit of bully. He beats up younger kids, older men and during sexy time, he was very bullyish and it wasnt always that sexy. What also annoyed me is that there was no reason given why. He was just very aggressive and posessive for no reason. No back story, no reason for his return to Darling Lake, no real look into his past relationships etc. It was just all physical and then that physical was minimal.
So yeah, overall, not the best for me.
