I expected to at least like the characters in this book. A nurse and a pilot. I've come to realize that what I like about coho books is how fast you can get through them and how digestible the writing is. The contents of the writing however, they're kinda disturbing. I think that might be another theme in her books. Being categorized as romance is weird
considering there's incest in this one. (I know Miles and Rachel are not BLOOD siblings, but for god's sake, their parents are married. Blood related or not, it doesn't make it any less wrong.)

Tate, our FMC, felt like a side character which is sad since half the book is from her perspective. I think I felt like she was a side character since all we see in the "situation ship" she's in with Miles, all he does is use her.
She knows he's only using her from the beginning and gets mad when he calls her by his ex's name(Miles' ex is also his step sister)

Miles is just an ass. Instead of getting a therapist or solving his problems head on,
he gets involved with his friend's sister?
Honestly he's just the worst. I can't believe people actually consider this guy "book husband" material.
