personally, i found myself slightly underwhelmed with that kind of guy.
firstly, i prefer reading romance books where i see the relationship created and developed myself. in that kind of guy, the relationship was well established. secondly, due to the page length and fast paced nature of this book, the bond between the fmc and mmc from friends to lovers felt a little too rushed for my liking.
now that being said, that doesn't mean i didn't like aspects of this book. i liked that the mmc is demisexual. i hardly see this normalized and explored in literature, so that was a nice addition to this book. i liked the fmc being older and talia hibbert explores the older woman/younger man dynamic appropriately.
overall, if the book was longer, i could see the relationship developing more organically and liking this book more.
