I have mixed feelings about this book.
I LOVED the characters, mostly I loved Ryder Bergman, the over-average-sized, deaf, cinnamon-roll Beast. He's just perfection alright. I liked Willa Sutter a lot, as in her being outspoken, a footballer (and I haven't seen many in my romances). So I'd rec this romance was it only so as to spread representation of diverse characters.

The two get together bc their professor is a matchmaker, basically (and Ryder brother-in-law), and the rest is forced-proximity and banter to no end

That said, there were a few things I didn't like much. The pace in the middle felt a bit dragging (I skimmed some over-written lines, if I am to be honest, and I'm not proud of it). At times I was slightly fed up with what felt like a narrative trick (Willa unconsciously saying her thoughts aloud), and with the endless interruptions of the two MC's attempts at anything. And I felt a sting of betrayal when 

Bergman got his hearing back. I felt like the whole point of having diverse characters failed a bit. I mean, would it have been a less HEA if he stayed deaf?

 

However, the characters are truly something, I think I'm going to go ahead with the Bergman brothers if only to see the whole family again. They are that vivid, and that likeable.
