Thank you to Hachette Audio for the alc of this book. It was an interesting story with a great narration duo — but it unfortunately fell flat for me. I had difficulty truly connecting with their relationship due its back and forth nature  — the “will they won’t they” was slightly overdone and it made it harder for me to get invested in their success. They had a lot of passion for each other, but the relationship sparked and fizzled out over and over again. I also was caught off guard by how much of their relationship was physical rather than emotional. I like physical intimacy in books, but their romantic journey seemed geared more towards the smut rather than making a true connection. While I enjoyed listening to it, I wouldn’t read it again. I’m disappointed as I was so excited to get this alc. Maybe the author’s other books will be more to my taste? 2.75 🌟
