The kink was great, spice hot. But the younger MC, Shane, felt more mature than West. The constant need to have their relationship approved by Carter was annoying. And it remains an issue basically till the epilogue. I guess it made their relationship like a part of destiny but... I just had to fight an eye-roll. You are either ready for a new relationship or you are not. And I was not honestly sure about the two.
