The cute moments were cute. The spicy moments were spicy. Character driven but sometimes our leading lady was rather annoying (also kind of “I’m not like other girls” at times). Some conflict felt easily solvable but dragged on whereas the deeper conflict felt too easily resolved. Can’t truly speak to the deaf representation, so I’ll leave it with it felt wrong/off at times with the way it was written. Overall I’d say read it if you want a quick and easy contemporary romance. I won’t be reading more of this series (at least not anytime soon)
