Maybe my expectations were too high because I typically loved forced proximity but I had to force myself to finish this book.

Positives — I really liked Talia Hubert’s writing and the spicy scenes were giving. 

Negatives — I don’t particularly like either one of the characters. 

Rahul was… fine. He’s nice, but honestly a little pathetic and I think he let Jasmine walk all over him way too much. Also so much of the pressure he puts on himself as the “man of the family” felt dated and gross to me. Jasmine was a mess and left me feeling frustrated. Both character flaws are acknowledged and worked on but I didn’t buy the character development. 

Neither are the worst or anything but I was never rooting for them.
