Just didn’t keep me fully engaged.

This was a different read and I just didn’t feel connected and fully engaged with the characters or the plot and I felt that I was in a constant state of low level confusion when the narrative seemed to jump around a bit.
The story is told from Nick’s POV and I found it frustrating at times when he had angst filled monologues second guessing himself and the relationship with Davis. We are never really told why he is the way he is and so closed off.
He comes across as a bit immature and could be quite rude and downright nasty to Davis who is just a sweet and kind gentle giant. The character development could have be a lot stronger and I really didn’t feel much in the way of chemistry between them. It took a very long time for them to actually get together which lead to some low heat scenes. Their HFN was achieved after some minor dramas.
