[Sammy · Rating 1 out of 5]

Eye-rolling romance that held nothing of value; the romance itself being incredibly wrought with problems, including the male main character Sam threatening violence on his love interest on several occasions (yes, he never does anything but it communicated that in the heat of the moment, he might) and a female main character Babs that, with the least provocation, changes her mind as if she has the brain of a housefly. She could actually have the brain of a five-year-old for all we know, because almost every page mentioned how child-like and naïve she acts, including being possessive about a man she literally met yesterday and being upset that he’s rescuing her for the reward (oh how dare he!) and not for her amazing and awesome self. It’s framed as a sweet romance, but nothing about it is, especially when it just seems like another case of an older man taking advantage of a younger woman, which will inevitably end up blowing up in his face later down the line. They fight almost every conversation they have, have zero chemistry (at one point another character points out you don’t have to be similar at all, not one bit to be in a relationship, which just sounds like bad advice to me), and will undoubtedly end up married one week in, then divorced another. ugh

2/10
