Literally nothing to build a baseline interest on, much less her basically creaming her pants at the thought of him. We are told how cool and collected and calm and smart she is and how she's the best profiler and blah blah blah but then her actual story and how she acts do nothing but declare those descriptions false. It's very frustrating from page 1. Then they actually do talking and it's the stupidest dialogue.

I'm honestly so irritated but how trash this has been I can't stop thinking about it. Why are people like this when there's going to be flesh involved? Romance, however unusual or spicy or dark, can be done well. But people are just freaking lazy. I don't know how this got a rating of 4.04, because it definitely doesn't deserve it. What a dang tease. Not giving up yet, but incredibly frustrated by the shitty writing.

Rather than the trash it was (literally he says he was looking forward to seeing her, she asks for info on a case, and he jumps straight to " Tell me, are you also this direct when you fuck?" and this supposedly stone cold lady is blushing and squirming the whole damn time). After an INTELLIGENT, INTRIGUING, NON-TRASH conversation, she starts to find herself falling under his sway and re-assessing life or whatever

Then, since she was there anyway for another case, she decided to sit in on his court hearing (or was asked) and his fearlessness and killing of the guard made her a little more intrigued but still not much outside the standard reaction anyone else might have had. THEN, when he demands to see her, she meets him face to face and in a position to talk for the first time. And the dialogue is interesting and intelligent

I was hoping for a Joker and Harley or Will and Hannibal sort of set-up, but it's just a shitty (romance can be very well done, this is not that!!) romance with the "story" just there as an excuse for horny thoughts. What WOULD have made more sense was for her to have only the vaguest initial professional curiosity since he was local, turned himself in, and supposedly has this long list of kills.

I keep hoping I'll get far enough into this story that it gets interesting and I forgive how awful the writing is. The premise sounded so interesting, but the execution is awful. The intelligent, calm, level-headed FMC fell in insta-love with nothing but the headshot of a killer MMC. Like his obsession I can understand, but hers has no fucking foundation. Like they've never interacted. There are no interviews
