Tempting by Bella Matthews

Overall this was a pretty good read. This was my first book by this author and it might be my last, even though I enjoyed it for the most part.
This is Book 1, but the book assumes you know a whole lot of characters and their relationships without much (or any) explanation. I’m assuming there are other series they were in, or maybe the author is just really bad at this. Even if there are other books and I had read them, unless I went on a binge I would want some reminders. There are cousins and uncles and friends and some married each other and other people died. I knocked a full star off for spending a lot of the book confused about who half of these people are.
There’s kind of a 3AB. It’s really dumb and unnecessary. Her reaction was stupid and she knew it was stupid and it should have just been edited out because it contributed nothing. I knocked a full star off for that.
There’s a scene where the FMC’s mom’s best friend tells the FMC she’s going to tell her a story someday. Sounds like it’s probably interesting. We never get the story. Is that in one of those other books that maybe exists that I maybe should have read first? If so don’t bring it up. Again this is Book 1 of a series. Or maybe the author just damgled it and forgot about it. I didn’t drop a star for that but as I type this I’m kind of having regrets.
