This is a case where I think if I read it vs. listening to the audiobook, I would've enjoyed it way more. I found myself struggling with the voice actors that were chosen (specifically Stella's), and there was something about it being said out loud vs. being read that felt more cringey for me. The "she's mine" and "his whiskey eyes" were kind of a lot after 1-2 hours into the audiobook. 

I feel bad because it does taint my ability to give a well-rounded review. Overall, it was a fun book. It follows the typical billionaire tropes and notes, and the characters were likable enough to keep me invested. There was nothing that particularly surprised me or resonated with me, but that was okay! It was a good fluff read for me, and I like the cast enough that I would be interested in reading the other books in the series.
