Why is Cameron so mad? What did Riley do? Nothing! Care about him FFS. I’m 100% team Riley atm

I’m going in with zero expectations. This was my favorite author 5 years ago but her formula is always the same and needs an update… TBC

Can anyone tell me if this will get better? It’s soooo boooooring. I’m not used to that from Nora Phoenix!

On the first 30 pages the writer herself got the names mixed up. They are that similar… It’s Garrison Dixon and Jameson Bates but when it’s Garisson’s POV she calls Bates Dixon twice.

Thank the universe, the ‘boyfriend’ talk happened fairly quickly. That’s a +

*spoilers ahead*

Very much insta-love (which I hate).
The threat with the lawsuit draw me in but that was swept away rather quickly.
Jukes not asking about the ‘boyfriend’: not communicating to serve the plot, which I absolutely loathe.

I’m not a big fan of Landon (yet). The OTT affection annoys me (it’s ridiculous- and I am a tactile person) because it’s obvious Finn has feelings for him. I’m going to keep reading because I want to get to know him and because I’m curious what’s going to happen.

DNF 40% unfortunately it was too boring for me to keep reading

OMG my heart hurts for Logan. That awful mother!!
I can’t wait for Caleb to help and hopefully rescue him

I’m really starting to get into this story!

I really don’t like it when the MC’s are already hooking up before I know them . I also don’t like Mac calling Archer Katniss. Hope it will get better!

Honest question: Is it really realistic to break down after sex with a new person when you’ve lost your partner 25 (!) years ago??
Not to me...

Wow!! Sebastian is making a lot of presumptions about a guy he met 5 minutes ago (Josiah). Don’t know if I like him yet.
This book is short, so I don’t expect a lot of ‘getting to know eachother first’...

Present tense nooooooo! I hate present tense. Let’s see if the story is so good I can forget about it....

Rhis is not looking good.. All those side characters taking up way to much space. Arsen & Caspian are hardly spending time together on paper. I hate it! I wanna slap Caspian so hard.
But I still want them together ugh

Noooo! Come ooonnnn! I don’t wanna read about Arden having sex with someone else as lovely as they are....dammit

DNF for now.
Characters are not developed enough for my taste, especially Harlan.

A femme guy who likes control in the bedroom!

Unpopular opinion here! The predatory and aggressive way Viper is coming on to Halo (who says he’s straight) irritates me.

I don’t like the first sex scene. So cold and detached, void of emotions.
I hope M+V get better together. I need passion!!

It’s weird that Drake & Ryden have such a physical reaction to eachother. Ryden has a smørgasbord of young men, so it would have made more sense if the attraction was because of behavior. But they would have needed more interaction for that to happen.

I don’t like that Simon picked James because of his looks. He knows nothing about his personality when he risks a lot to save him

Asperger is nothing like Aiden, but I’ll give it a chance

Cum with a hint of bleach?? Whot now?

Aha there is a contract to kill the killers of the doctors!

I don’t understand why a contract killer is involved

Using the wrong name, a MC from book 1 (Logan) instead of James/Jimmy. Weird

Darren leaving didn’t make sense other than for the benefit of the story, to create drama.

The sex happens too quickly. There wasn’t a chance to develop any passion and attraction between the two MCs.

Why were Landon’s parents so adamant that he went to Colombia? If it’s just so the writer has the drama and there is no apparent reason, then it really sucks.

A little more tension, buildup would have been nicer
