Scorpio Hates Virgo by Anyta Sunday
3.0
3.5 Stars
I really really hate to say this, but this sequel didn’t even come close to the enjoyment factor I got when compared to [b:Leo Loves Aries|32053864|Leo Loves Aries (Signs of Love, #1)|Anyta Sunday|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1473941215s/32053864.jpg|52694520], and I suppose my rating reflects that. Trust me, I’m quite devastated that I didn’t love this hard. Admittedly, it would be a seriously difficult feat to top its predecessor which probably rates in the top 3 reads for me this year, and that’s really saying a lot.
On its own, this was a perfectly serviceable romance where Percy and Cal unknowingly unwittingly cluelessly, perhaps mostly on Percy’s part, flirt with each other for years under the ruse of light disdain disguised as attraction and want. Why it took them so long to get their heads outta their asses is beyond my comprehension, but Sunday is known for, and freely admits to, loving a slow slow burn.
Obviously, when it works, it works but this time around it fell a bit short due to unrealistic expectations that I solely take the blame for. Poor Percy and Cal never really had a chance, having a ginormous upward climb against the standard of Jamie and Theo.
I love Anyta Sunday and there's probably not a book of hers I won’t or wouldn’t read. I just couldn’t connect with the characters easily, and it took awhile for me to really get into their story, and no one is more disappointed about that than me. However, this was still cheeky fun and sweet, with a little sexy to keep the reader wanting more. Next time around I’ll just have to restrain my Jamie love a bit more, because no doubt, there will be a next time!
