I had high hopes for this as I’ve heard a lot of good things, but I did not like 90% of it… :/ 

The relationship between Jeanie and Logan is so lustful and lacks all depth apart from the simple experiences that they had together. Once they actually got into a relationship, it got pretty spicy and I had to skip nearly TEN PAGES in one chapter for a scene.😳 Towards the end of the book there is spicy scene after spicy scene and it truly feels like I just skimmed the last 30 pages.


The book flips between Logan and Jeanie’s perspectives, but they feel the same because both of the characters have the same emotions, same thought styles and there’s no real character depth.

Did not love this one unfortunately.
