I love Willow Winters, but this collaboration from her backlist didn't work for me. I could hear the different author voices at times - sometimes the heroine says fuck a lot, sometimes she seems like a prude. Overall, the characters were underdeveloped. We begin to learn that the h has some sort of anxiety disorder but never learn much about it. The H is like a cardboard cutout. And man, does this guy not have game. Zero foreplay. I don't know what she sees in him. They don't have a lot of conversations outside of their trysts, and a lot of the "action" is only told through the thoughts in their heads. Overall unconvincing story.
