I hate-read this book.
The MMC's mother was the best character - and she only appeared via text messages.
The hockey/lockerroom stuff was hilariously wrong & bad, and the way the authors beat the reader over the head with the menopause storyline was silly. The FMC is supposed to be a smart, successful business owner - but she can't dress herself or comb her hair?
Come on.
The MMC sees the FMC as a disaster when they meet - he's of course, a total Adonis - and yet agrees to this fake wedding date with Pygmalion vibes to earn favor with his semi-estranged daughter? What a saint.
The talk about puck bunnies and the back-handed reference to consent really had me astonished that women wrote this book.
The guy lined up for book two is .... well, good luck redeeming that trash.
