First and foremost, I would like to express my gratitude to Netgalley for providing me with an ARC of this audiobook. 😊
I've been wanting to read this book for a while, and I was not disappointed. The story was incredibly realistic and captivating, to the extent that I found myself unable to stop listening. 🎧 It was one of those books that had me exclaiming aloud, engaging in conversations with the characters, and urging them to take action. JUST GO ON AND KISS HER ALREADY!!! 🔥
The slow-burn progression from enemies to lovers was well written, and just when I believed the happy ending had been reached, I realized that I was only halfway through the book!
Rosie and Aiden have such an intense relationship, and the only part that I did not like (and why I docked 1/4 star) is during the sex scenes when he was calling her a "good girl." I don't know, maybe it's the feminist in me, but it just feels a bit condescending and derogatory. I personally do not like being called that, but that's just me. I also thought it didn't seem to fit with the story or Aiden's personality either.
The narration as well is probably one of the best I've listened to recently. I really liked her inflections and how she made the reader actively listen.
What did others think? Did you love it as much as me!? I'm definitely going to put this on my Christmas wishlist to buy, though!
