Age gap trope + virginity trope= BADDD. It’s unfortunate that this is the book that closes out the series. Beau and Bailey weren’t nearly as compelling nor had chemistry like the other couples did. Their fake engagement lacked foundation; it was flawed from the beginning and wasn’t talked through like they believe it was. The pacing was odd, and some of the sexy scenes were actually criminal LOL. There was one plot point that had me gagged since it had been subtly set up since Flawless, but otherwise this was a let down 🫥
