Let me begin this review by saying the MMC is such an idiot!!! HOW are all these signs that she’s into you going over your freaking head? HOW?? I looked like this 🤦🏻♀️ for most of the beginning.
Anyways, now that I got that out. I enjoyed the beginning so much even though the MMC is an idiot. I got 20% in before bed and legit had dreams about this book and how I feel the rest of it will go. The MMC is an dumb*** BUT he’s sooooo sweet to the FMC it’s just unfortunate that he’s due to marry her sister. The FMC is a massive doormat but I still really loved her. I just couldn’t wait to see her get a backbone. The more I read the more whiplash I got from the MMC 😩 he’s so back and forth with his feelings and it was quite honestly exhausting. I was starting to hate when he was sweet because I felt like it was fake and that he would backpedal on it later. I haven’t been this mad over a book in a long long time. The only reason I kept reading was because I was waiting for Raven to find her backbone and tell everyone to F OFF. I love me a possessive MMC but Ares was over the top and not in a good way. You can’t be around this person but I can run to my ex anytime she is crying for me. HECK NO! The amount of times Ares goes back on what he said in the past 🙄I don’t know how he believes anything that comes out of his mouth. At one point he said he wanted Raven to draw him and my instant thought was that I would draw a clown. Point blank period. I’m angry that I didn’t love him. I’m angry that he was written this way to where I never wanted them to be together in the end. At 94% he won some points but not nearly enough for me to like the guy. Moment of honesty, I didn’t like this book as much as I hoped I would.
SPOILERS SCENES AS TO WHY ARES IS AN IDIOT!
It’s clear as day that Raven is in love with him but he doesn’t see it. She gets plastered drunk and he gets her home and she has him carry her to the couch. Then she proceeds to sit on his lap and strip and grind on him while saying there is this guy she can’t have. WHY WOULD SHE DO THAT IF IT WERE SOMEONE ELSE?? He starts asking if it’s her ex or one of his brothers and gets so mad. Alllllll that time he has so much restraint and tells her that she’s drunk and he doesn’t like her like that. BUT lets rewind to when he bought her an early birthday present and tells her he buys alllll of her presents himself but he needed Raven to go to buy his fiancé a gift because he didn’t know what to get. WHAT???? Ares also has dreams about her all the time and they are not dreams you should be having about your soon to be sister in law, just saying. What’s funny is way later in the book he brings up the night she was grinding on him and asks if she’s still in love with that guy 🤣🤣🤣 idiot. At one point in the book he tells Hannah he won’t ever love anyone else. Then shortly after that he tells Raven that nobody will never take his name ever again, just her. Hannah is under the impression that after 3 years he will divorce Raven and marry Hannah. Then we read his inner dialogue saying that he won’t leave Raven if she will continue to have him. But he never tells Hannah that. BOY WHAT?!?! Stringing along 2 ladies isn’t cool. He does end things after meeting with Hannah for dinner the day after him and Raven’s wedding. He told her it’s over and if they find their way back to each other in 3 years then it’s meant to me. But also why is he meeting with his ex the day after his wedding??? Ugh. Hannah finds out she’s 5 months pregnant and she says it’s Ares baby. Tell me why the grandma moves her into Ares and Raven’s home?? Then tells Raven she has an out if she wants to take it. Hannah is such a bitch and I hate the way she has treated Raven this whole time. The audacity of this woman completely blows my mind. Raven starts blaming herself for marrying Ares and completely pushes aside the fact that Hannah is the reason for it. This poor girl blames herself for any problems that arises and it breaks my heart. Oh and it turns out Ares isn’t the father of Hannah’s baby. He knew she was cheating on him and he didn’t give a crap. Which I find hilarious being that a man looks at Raven and Ares loses his mind. It also comes out that one drunken night Raven goes to Ares room and confesses her love for him and she loses her virginity to him. The next day Ares and Hannah announce their engagement. I KNOW I KNOW I FREAKED OUT TOO! But the truth comes out that Raven left Ares bed early and Hannah snuck in and when Ares woke up next to Hannah he thought it was her that whole night. Remember those inappropriate dreams he was having about Raven? It was about that night he just didn’t realize it was real. Sooooo it should have been him and Raven all along. Shocker.
