This book was a bit better than the Thorne's first book but again I just have to criticize it.
1) Romance: The romance seemed to be a bit better than the last book with the main two characters not immediately kissing and had a teeny tiny bit of tension between the two of them. It was also slow-paced giving the reader time to understand the characters and the tension and the romance between them which was lacking in the first book so that is an improvement. Although, that was the only thing that improved. In this book the FMC was also lusting over the MMC and only saw some romance from her side and little more from the MMC.
2) Plot: The plot was where I felt it all went wrong. In general, it was okay. It was like your everyday classic romance story. Until it wasn't. So this girl had a crush/lust for this guy since she was like 16, and when he confessed she said no and then later when he got engaged she's jealous? Like girl had the chance to have him and chose not to have him. After that he just becomes jealous at everything and they were also supposedly friends but he couldn't tell her that he cancelled off their engagement? Btw it was an engagement to a girl he was with for 8 YEARS was destroyed just for the FMC (It wasn't clear but that was what i guessed). Like that is pretty unrealistic and if it wasn't it's a HUGE red flag. The FMC also seemed like the 'I'm not like the other girls' type with having a piercing and short hair and being fierce? Cringe alert! The girl, Megan, who's engagement was cancelled off by the MMC also contacted the FMC and the FMC's brother at the end saying that the MMC contacted her telling her not panic and for the FMC to date him cause he loves her and Megan kind of knew that. WHO SAYS THAT TO A RELATIONSHIP OF 8 YEARS????? It was like Megan was waiting for the MMC and her to break up and showed that she wasn't even that and said it was messed up and I didn't like it. The underwear girl was a bit okay but did not seem supportive AT ALL from what I read and understood. (Sidenote: I also felt rlly weird about the use of the word 'alpha' but it wasn't much of a problem)
3) Tom: Tom seemed to me as a HUGE red flag especially, as previousl mentioned, when he cancelled of an engagement of 8 years. He also seemed really neglecting, had a veryy fragile ego and seemed rude to the FMC while also being a bit romantic. First time was when they both hooked up and he told her not to tell her brother and had an argument about just not telling her brother because he was afraid of some kind of money problem? In general he argued with her a lot throughout the whole book adn when he didn't i have to admit, was a bit sweet and a bit romantic. (emphasise on bit)
If it wasn't for the plot I would have increased this book's rating to 3 stars but again, like the Hating Game, 2.75 stars.
