Say I Do absolutely didn't deliver the promised tropes. It started out very promising with Benito, the Vitale boss getting married to Harlow, son of the Yakuza boss. The enemies-to-lovers was happening until they started living together, which was right after the wedding. Pretty soon both characters lost their edge and were just having sex all the time. Right after the first time, when it was crucial to read about those first moments of them living together and having sex, it was all off-page. Their inner emotions were not being talked about enough. They had depth, but there wasn't much written about it. Where, I ask you, was the hate sex? Did I miss it? Because I don't remember it. They were both hot for each other from the get-go. No hate sex.
Its defenitely better than the first 2 books, this couple actually has chemistry compared to the other, but I'm not continuing the rest of the series.. This was pretty terrible in every way and I can’t say I really enjoyed it, but it was weirdly addictive so 2.5 stars but I'm rounding up to 3 for the gorgeous cover of the book.
