Y’all. This was not for me. I thought maybe, and was let down at every dang turn.

I did not like how this love triangle between brother’s was handled. It felt drama filled (and not the good kind). I continually felt annoyed with everyone involved and wish it would have been focused on her connection with one of the men.

This mostly was about the FMC struggling with her career choice. Which is fine, but the romantic plots were inherently weak and this combination took me out of the story.

NOT TO MENTION, and this may be considered a spoiler so read at will, there’s a OPEN DOOR love scene at the LITERAL last minute of the epilogue. Why is this enraging? I’m generally fine with a little bit of spice, or don’t mind skipping over, BUT, when you’ve created a book that comes off as sweet/super closed door and then add something in like that it creates a jarring effect. Don’t try to add something in that doesn’t fit with the entire vibe you’ve already created. It’ll make both camps (no spice & spice lovers) upset.

Ending this rant fest. I did not like this book and I think I’m done reading this author’s books.

Overall audience notes:
- Contemporary Romance
- Language: a little strong
- Romance: one open door scene
- Violence: low
- Trigger/Content Warnings: short term memory loss & coma from a car crash, manipulative father
