Did not finish book. Stopped at 61%.

So… I’m going to rate this book a 2 after DNF’ing at 61 percent, chapter 26. The story of Kayla receiving a mysterious letter from a Dante in jail and being uncertain who this man is and how does he know her was a really good concept going forward , along with the introduction of Aidan, the fixer upper. Then… the story just took a complete turn to a full blown sex , smut between the two characters and it’s completely takes over the context . Being more than half way done with the book, I would’ve thought the communication between Dante and Kayla should have built so much more depth than what we have so far ( which is essentially nothing still) but this book is literally sex filled to an unnecessary capacity.
The characters being my age as well ( Kayla 30 and Aiden 35), there really should have been a bit more character-build and their overall have personality development .. not just a bunny/lion with a mix of cat/mouse play with another man whom we still don’t know who the fuck he is or how he plays ANY part with either character. Kayla, Aidan, and Dante are still strangers to me when I don’t feel like they should be , being 26 chapters in to characters seemingly in their 30s. We don’t know “why” is anything happening at the moment or why she can’t tell Aidan that her husband is dead …. Yet she allows raw s£X from him and love is creeping its way in.
Oh, and somehow a 👻 maybe involved with the goings on in her house … but again it’s just so much unnecessary and elongated sex that it’s distracting. To be quite honest … the story is just got boring after the “spice” started
