Temptation on Ocean Drive
by Jennifer Probst
I really liked the first book in this series so I was excited to read this next story. This book had a lot of wonderful insights on navigating grief. And there was great chemistry between the leads. But, geez, was it hard to like the female lead.
Yes, she is afraid to love again after loss, but she's just such a dick to the male lead over and over and over again that, by the end, I wanted him to move on and find a better woman.
Meanwhile the male lead is a perfect human with no flaws. He just accepts her crap with endless patience, never loses his temper, and keeps going back for more. It was just so frustrating. This man deserved better.
I did like the challenging of gender stereotypes since the mead works in a female-dominated industry. The author did a good job of exploring the expectations from others about his chosen profession.
In the end I just kind of muddled through this book and finished thinking, "meh".
