I received a copy of eARC from NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion.

Overall it was an ok read.

My main problem with the book was that the story was written in the third person POV. When the accent of the book is on the romance part, third-person writing does not work for me. This is my preference, it might work well for someone else, but this was the main obstacle for me to get into the story.
With that said, the writing was fine. In some parts, there was a bit of info dump that was getting harder to go through and in my opinion, didn't bring much to the story.
Faith's character is described as a black and white character which is opposite to Cam who looks at a problem in a gray spectrum. This is the best way to describe their relationship, why it fell apart at first, and the obstacle they have to pass so they could get their second chance. The sexual chemistry between them is strong but it felt that their connection is mostly physical. It was all about how better-looking they are than they were before (they looked great before, but still, they are more handsome now), not how did they grow as a person...

Did I love it? Not really... Did I enjoy it? Yes.
