I like the first spicy scene to have a “consent check” - I do actually find that really hot - but in chapter 20 or whatever it was, Nadia said she “wasn’t herself”or something along those lines, and seemed to show that to Griffin, and it irks me that he didn’t stop or check in with her.
Plus I adore the brothers best friend thing, but with the age gap is makes it feel even more creepy. (Part 3/3)

I don’t know why the last book in series’ of four always tend to grind my gears and be least favourite for me, I think it’s mostly when the author pulls out slightly inconsequential characters to make a book to finish the series. I feel like this with Elle Kennedy’s “The Play” too.

Plus, the age gap feels creepy. I know it’s the same as Heartless, but Willa was older, and I felt like she and Cade saw each other as equals. There’s definitely a power imbalance here, which I hate. I love an alpha MMC as much as the next person, but not one who’s controlling and domineering, I like the FMC to be powerful too, which I thought Nadia would be, but no. (Part 2/3)

I loved Nadia in A False Start, but now that she’s maturer she’s not doing it for me so much. I liked her as a surly teenage girl.
Griffin just isn’t my cup of tea either, he’s annoying, grumpy, and his trauma is hardly an issue compared to all the other ones in this series, he’s over dramatic and just needs to get over himself, go to therapy and speech therapy, and work through it. (Part 1/2)
