Not For Sale by Crystal Lacy
2.0

This was honestly kind of boring. The pacing was super slow, and the whole thing never really felt like a love connection to me, but rather just lust. And even if it had been “love”, it was definitely INSTA-love.
They literally knew absolutely nothing about each other. Every time they were together, they only ever had sex 24/7 instead of even a simple conversation once in a while. It all had a very shallow feel to it.

And sure, some moments were cute, but I definitely didn’t swoon or anything. Somehow none of it really felt romantic to me and I was just not invested in it.

It also became very annoying to me how often Jace was referred to as “adorable” or “cute”. I mean, do not get me wrong, I love endearing and sweet characters so much, but this was just overkill. He was constantly blushing and being shy, and it mostly made me roll my eyes and not take their relationship seriously.
I definitely needed him to not be such a doormat either. He let himself get walked all over. Luckily Theo didn’t really take advantage of that, but Jace came across as very weak to me.
Also, the whole thing where Theo kept constantly calling Jace a “slut” and “whore” weirded me out so much.

The biggest complaint I had, though, was that nothing really happened in this book, which simply made this very boring and really slow. The book was way too long and it should have definitely been a lot shorter. It was dragged out.
