2.75

The Son 
Overall  2.75
Spice 5 

• SPICY book (NOT book with spice) 
• Forced Proximity 
• Insta Love 
• Pregnancy Trope 
• Jim Can Read the Phone Book to Me 
• Novella 
• Not part of the BDB series 



I think this book may just not have aged well. I didn’t appreciate the FMC character arc. Her “growth” doesn’t seem to stem from anything other than biological needs. The romance was lacking at best. This novella was originally published in an anthology it makes sense that this is essentially a SPICE book set in the world of BDB but not a book with spice. Hence the plot really wasn’t necessary. If you remove that from the equation this is great. So go in with that intention and you’ll be thrilled. 
Also, Jim can read the encyclopedia to me and I’d be happy. Actually Jim you should do that! PLEASE!
