Here are things I loved about Jaiden’s book:
- Mental health representation- I think this was done well. I enjoyed the inner monologues that the main characters had so that we as readers knew what they were thinking. Depression is a real thing and I loved how the author tackled this topic. You can see how certain conversations impacted the thoughts of the character and I respected how well it was written.
- Vitiligo - As you can see from the cover, the main female character has this skin condition and I truly enjoyed the representation of it. She was truly an empowered strong individual. I am glad that she was not written as an insecure, passive woman.
- She had no issues with being submissive to him (read the book- I won’t spoil it)
- A man will and can change for the One (read the book- I shall not spoil it )
- Side characters - they were everything. I especially loved Taz..
Things I was not a fan of:
- Wordiness- in my opinion, I felt that things were a little wordy. Some things were a little too descriptive.
- Saying I love you early- now there were some building of the relationship between the main characters. I still felt that sharing ‘I love you’ was really early. The amount of time the two were getting acquainted was not really that long.
- The dog- um- yea .. I know people love their pets but this was a little too much for me. I understood his importance
I knew that Jaiden would be the brother that I loved the most (out side of Genesis). He was funny and his personality was loveable. He was a true sweetheart and was not playing about his Sugar Mama. I enjoyed the story overall. I never thought all the brothers would get books after Jordana’s but glad they all got their moments to shine.
