I don’t really know how to even go about this review because I just don’t have a lot of feelings about it. I definitely liked book one a lot better. There was nothing inherently wrong wit the story, other than it was a little slow. I want to FEEL all the things when I’m reading and this missed the mark in that aspect.

There’s some cute and sweet moments. I liked the general dynamic between Pet and Matthias. Throw in some forced proximity and fake dating and it set up for the kind of romantic moments I also enjoy reading about. There’s even a little bit of suspense too that I thought upped the whole vibe of the book as well.

Overall audience notes:
- Contemporary Romance
- Language: some strong
- Romance: 1-2 open door
- Violence: moderate
- Trigger/Content Warnings: physical assault, loss of a loved one, weapons violence
