24 Roses by Elena M. Reyes

I hate it when I love the author but don't love the book. It makes me so freaking sad!! 😒😒😒

Here's the thing... I loved Bryson. The author did a great job of creating a man I want to read about. He was an absolute sweetheart and had the kind of character you want to find in a friends-to-lovers hero. The kind of hero that has secretly been in love with the heroine and didn't really hide it... she was just blind to it. And holy crap was Ani blind. The only thing beautiful about this character, to me, was her name. She was very tiresome to read. Her POV practically put me to sleep and I quickly breezed through it just to get back to Bryson. I wasn't a fan of hers, for sure!

Told in past and present, I really could have done without all of the flashbacks. They added nothing to the story other than to show how much of a pum-pum Bryson was for Ani. I never like to see an 'alpha' looking unnecessarily soft, especially when the heroine acts undeserving. So all three stars go to Bryson alone. He had an amazing heart and the way he loved his woman was amazing.
