I’m not sure what it was that bothered me with this book, but there was something that just didn’t click.
I wasn’t invested, I couldn’t care less about the side characters (I felt I wasn’t introduced to them properly to care), and I could barely tell you any of their names.
The FMC and MMC really seemed to go from hate to love in a couple of pages and there just wasn’t enough spark! This could have been a really great, dark slow burn romance. Erik had the potential to be dark, broody and the biggest walking red flag imaginable and I’d have ATE it up, but unfortunately the author didn’t choose this route.
