3.5

This was a 3.5 star read for me, rounding down because while the sex scenes are INCREDIBLE and really well written, for their volume they needed to move their relationship forward a lot more. The pacing also felt off to me, in particular the ending/epilogue which...could have (arguably should have?!) just been the plot of the book. I felt like there was not enough conflict between the leads that was not external to their relationship, and the absolute failure of the most basic, uncomplicated journalistic ethics had me STEAMED. Overall pretty meh on this one.
