Yours to Keep by Claudia Burgoa

This was terrible. It didn’t work as a standalone, which I learned the hard way but then I was too stubborn to quit. It’s not like I would have read the other books anyway since they’re MF, but honestly it doesn’t seem like I missed anything worthwhile anyway.
So, I didn’t get the story. That’s on me. But that didn’t explain the inconsistencies in the writing and the random change of minds that the MCs kept having. Dare was like “ew, I don’t want him like that” one minute and then in love the next. And not in the fun way. He spent the book being a doormat for his asshole family that I despised, then he suddenly seemed to realize how they’d been treating him at the same time as he “realized” he loved Vance, so everything fell into place at once. Again, not in the fun way.
The ending after was boring with some letters to characters I didn’t know from another character I didn’t know. Also, Dare told Vance his life story only to have Vance be like “umm getting married at 19 was really stupid”. What kind of response is that to a guy telling you about a former heartbreak? Two seconds later Vance was like “marry me”, again, after they had been together for about 2 seconds. Seriously?
The only person I kind of liked was the therapist, Dr. Saunders. He was great with Vance. But, even so, that’s not really what I wanted for a romance.
