I like this series, but I found Janie
exhausting
. I probably would have given it a 3 stars, but the more I thought about it I just couldn’t do that.
For 85% if not more, of this book she is not interested in having a relationship with Mac. She has some valid fears and thoughts, but he repeatedly told her what he though, she knows he is not one to lie or say things he doesn’t mean, but she does not tell him anything of what she is afraid of and instead tells him multiple times she will give him a chance with no intentions of actually doing that.
Mac comes on very strong her, which might be both too much to quick and what Janie needs, especially seeing him treating her daughter as his own, but she is so blinded by her own thoughts it does not help his cause.
And it got so increadibly repetitive. Her reasons being listed again and again. Her not ending it (and she couldhave safeworded and told him to leave her alone and he would have done it) or giving him a fair chance. It felt cruel, exhausting and when they finally got together I wasn’t sure I even wanted that for him anymore…
