I was more horny for the food in this book than the men tbh.
I guessed the twist as soon as Reid spoke so perhaps that's why I never warmed to Lawrence and why this book felt very slow/meandering whilst I was waiting for Zora to catch up.
I also just didn't buy her struggling to choose between these 2 men when clearly she like Reid more, and the only turmoil about him was that he was in a bad mood when they met. Except for when we got tothe NDA, and she couldn't get over that he never told her his secret. Girl it's AN NDA, and he's known you for a couple weeks. Get a grip! So the conflict was just nonsense to me, especially when there was actual conflict with Lawrence! I did not feel the chemistry (despite the author trying to tell me it was there) and I just thought he sucked! He was chauvinistic, lavished gifts and riches instead of curating experiences like Reid, selfish in bed, constantly double booking/canceling plans, and I knew from the start he wasn't writing his own books so that didn't help me either.
Despite all this the book was still enjoyable, and I did enjoy the writer's descriptive style - not so much the wooden dialogue though.
