Rescue Me by K.M. Neuhold
2.0
Did not finish. Got to 75%.
The book started out strong. There was a lot of hurt comfort and a lot of protection going on and it was sweet. There's lust at first sight that is then given a reasonable time frame to develop into love. The characters were sweet and distinct. It was a decent book. It has pronlems throughout with the author focusing on action and dialogue and not what the character physically feels. For example, there's a scene where a character gets a tattoo and there is no description of the sensation. He might as well be sipping tea.
I noped out after TRIGGER WARNING the suicide attempt. Because I don't do gratuitous suicide attempts for romance as a rule and this one was terribly written. He was IMMEDIATELY better after and determined not to do it again, immediately narrated his life story to a therapist he only just met after an entire sub-plot about his hating therapists then we launched into a sex scene and a plot twist that could be solved with a simple conversation. So hard no, I'm out.
