*BOOK REVIEW CATCH UP #3/54 😳*

I bought this book as soon as I finished Ink, the first instalment in the 7th and Main romance series. I was so excited to follow this couple because there was some great scenes between them as the main couple in book 1 got together. And, overall, this was an enjoyable romance perfect for the summer! I loved that we had a plus-size love interest, an interracial couple, and realistic conflicts that kept the two characters at arm's length. More specifically, the dreaded "third act breakup" wasn't a thing. LOVE THAT.

The only element that I was disinterested in was Tayla's main reason for being a non-relationship kind of person. It annoyed me that it wasn't simply her choice to be independent, but instead we learn that

her parents' loveless marriage makes her genuinely afraid of commitment

. I mean, valid, but I feel as though that angle to her character doesn't match the overall flow and tone of the story. 

Still a a quick, light 4-star read that I thoroughly enjoyed!
