Seven Year Itch by Amy Daws
2.5

This book follows Calder who is looking for a no-strings date to his brother's tropical wedding in Mexico. He ends up sharing a room with his sister-in-law's fiery best friend and his enemy Dakota. They embark in an "enemies with benefits" relationship to help Dakota move on after her divorce and embrace her sexuality. 

This is the second book in an interconnected series following 3 brothers and their love stories. I did enjoy Calder as an MMC, he is very protective of Dakota. He has some very cringy one-liners that were hard to look past. Dakota is struggling to accept her body after her divorce. I appreciate that all of the FMCs are regular sized or plus-sized bodies. I would have loved for her body type to not be the main part of the story, it felt to me at times she was over-sexualized to prove that body type is sexy. I did enjoy their banter and I liked the progression of their relationship. 

I don't think I am the intended audience for this series, I have seen a lot of positive reviews these stories are just not for me. I would check content warnings but if you enjoy spicy books about grumpy men with an interconnected series, this may be for you!
