Dust Storm
by Maggie Gates
First things first, I LOVE the dad bod rep. While I enjoy a good ripped and chiseled to the gods mmc I do prefer to read books with more realistic characters and body representation.
Now, onto the content. I am 15% in and Cassandra is honestly just mean, rude, whatever you want to call it. A badass fmc is great, but she doesn’t seem to be girl bossing for any particular reason, she’s just unlikable. I might change my mind as I go on but right now she seems like a stuck up snob. At this point I think Tripp and Cassandra deserve each other LOL. Christian seems really sweet and gentlemanly so idk how or why he would be interested in Cassandra (who doesn’t seem to like children or animals) besides her being hot and having a nice ass 🙄
Now at 41% - Christian is a whole MAN. Still don’t like Cassandra at all. Like how are you that mean to children that have expressed a grave interest in spending time with you/wanting to be/look like you?? In my head I know Cassandra is going to come around because it’s HEA but I’m also just annoyed with her immature behavior like girl go to therapy or something (which she also makes fun of).
At 49% - Cassandra told a child to shut the fuck up? And Christian told her more than once not to talk to his children like that and she still does it. UGH why is she like this. I get that she was trying to give advice before the situation was handled but there’s a time and a place.
OKAY the smut is smutting!! 🫦
At 70% - CHRISTIAN MF GRIFFITH AHHHH. “Don’t stand outside pressing your ear to the door when there’s a seat for you at the table.” What a king honestly. I am warming up a little to Cassandra but the work he is doing to get her to warm up is not worth the trouble imo. Good father. Good manners. Good dirty talk. Hard worker. And she’s still over here acting like he’s a one night stand and giving her unsolicited opinion on parenthood when she doesn’t like, want, or have kids.
In my opinion, Cassandra should have groveled more and I think they decided their relationship in the end kind of quick. She was so against it and then in one night she was like okay I’ll stay. Overall it was cute, smut was good, and the family dynamic was wholesome. Onto the next!
