Dnf at 40%.
I really tried with this one. I thought maybe some internalised misogynistic bullshit was the reason I was having trouble with the book. Blake isn't exactly a likeable character, but I don't think that's it. 
I feel like the world building was lacking and any history of the characters was rushed over. They were more like cardboard cut outs. Something for me was missing.

I enjoyed this book a lot. 
The characters dragged me in and had me absolutely riveted as I followed their story. 
Its slow burn, grumpy/sunshine and I was so invested I was up until 2am finishing.
