Rory and Gage meet after Gage’s car breaks down and he and his friends end up in the bar Rory works at. They spend the night together but go their separate ways the next morning, thinking this was a one-time thing and that they wouldn’t see each other again.
But Rory’s search for her father takes her to Gage’s hometown, and they are thrown together again to figure out who her father is.
I listened to the audiobook for this, and I do really love audiobooks. But I’m so bad at finishing them, they always take forever, no matter if they’re good or bad. And this one was really good!
Gage had it bad for Rory from the very start, which isn’t necessarily my favourite especially if the heroine is also immediately into the guy. But I was okay with it here because it was more like insta-lust than insta-love. Rory and Gage had great chemistry, the sex scenes were fine, and I really enjoyed their dynamic for most of the story. The mystery about her father was entertaining but drawn out a bit too long.
Overall, I really liked this story and would have given it 4 stars, if it wasn’t for this one thing that happens, that was just so weird to me. I wish this would have been left out entirely, or at least dealt with more quickly.
I’m going to explain what I mean below to avoid spoilers, even though I don’t really think it is that much of a spoiler. But just to be sure, if you don’t want to know anything more than what I’ve already talked about, don’t continue.
Spoiler:
Again, I would have given this 4 stars, if it wasn’t for the whole ‘we had sex, but maybe we’re also siblings’ thing that was so weird and unnecessary? Like, Rory’s reasoning for this was a stretch at best, but I guess there was a possibility. And despite that possibility, they were still lusting after each the whole time while they waited for the DNA test results, like wtf..
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for the arc in exchange for an honest review.
