3.5 but rounding down.
A very quick and light read! This was both really fun and great but also really cringy at times. It was funny, swoony at times, emotional at others, and spicy like 70-80% of them time. I loved loved loved all their banter. You really can’t go wrong with some CLo. Looking forward to continuing with the series because overall I really enjoyed myself!!
I’d personally classify this more as erotica than a general romance (which doesn’t bother me)-but if you want more of an emotional connection between the characters before they just start having sex this one probably isn’t for you. My biggest gripe was actually that sometimes the sex scenes felt repetitive like yeah they were in different locations but they all felt so similiar sometimes. I wished they changed it up occasionally. Also sometimes they had Bennett say something during a scene and it was just bad…like it would make me cringe bad.
