The book had the right bones for it to have been a good story but it was poorly executed.
The dialogue felt unnatural and fake. There was no substance behind their behaviour. It went from playful to emotional without giving the audience much time to fully connect with the characters, making them sound childish and immature.
I wanted to love this and I hate that I didn’t ☹️
Many thanks to the author for the ARC! ♥︎

This one was rlly cuteee. Their dynamic was adorable.
The world building needed some work though. It felt like everything had to be guessed.
The romance was my good but I’m more interested in her friend Lucy and Elias’s little story 🤭 their dynamic is gna be so good I already know 😌🔐💋

Oh how I missed Raven’s writing. I read this in one sitting lmao. Nothing hits like the books you read at midnight, delirious with lack of sleep 😝🤚
Was crazy frustrating but I kept eating up pages like no tmrw (literally)

I want to scream cry bang my fists on the wall bc Alexei isn’t real and I can’t follow Georgia on Instagram bc I NEEEEED to see her heels collection.
DNF’d @45%
The writing was boring and the dialogue felt drier than sand.
The story had potential but I just couldn’t bring myself to be interested.
I liked the fmc more than the mmc. The guy had no unique quality about him that stood out to me.
This book was a miss for me unfortunately.

This was definitely really cute!
I enjoyed most of this book but it wasn’t something that was out of this world change your life forever type. It was average but it was fast paced which was a positive.
The mmc was good but his dialogues felt a little robotic idk. Plus the British accent thing wasn’t doing him any favours with me 😭🤚
The fmc was cute but she had this weird stubborn streak just for the sake of adding conflict. It got annoying at one point but other than that she was sweet.

Rival Assassins that have to work together — it sounded so good in theory but it kind of fell flat for me.
It felt a little rushed and disjointed. Maybe it was because I was in a slump the entire time I read this but this didn’t capture my attention the way I wanted it to.
The romance was very bland and felt forced. The plot was more interesting and the only reason I stayed till the end.

AidenLucie made me fall back in love with love. This was so everything. Everyone in the world NEEDS to know how everything this book is.
Life is worth living again!!
I was in the most DISGUSTING slump and this book saved me. It gripped me from the pits of this slump and flung me so high I’m still floating in space never to return. I’ve peaked so hard idk what I’m gna do now that it’s over 🤚
Since I finished marriage for one by Ella maise i’ve been actively searching for something that will give me the same feeling and I’ve not had anything that even came close. I’ve been chasing the high since but as soon as I got to chapter two of this book??? It felt like I finally found home again 🧸💗
The writing is so masterful so emotionally inclined it’s genuinely hard not to get swept away by their love story. The metaphors, the softness and the small moments-GOD THE SMALL MOMENTS 😫🙏 I’m on my knees begging. The not so subtle half touches and sneaky glances at each other and noting all the tiny data points of what makes them who they are.
AND THE WAY BOTH THEIR POVS WERE SO UNIQUE TO THEIR PERSON PLSSSS-
It sounds like the most obvious bare minimum thing, but I’m telling u it’s not. The way I always read dual pov and I can TELL the guys pov is off. It’s always usually very similar in thoughts and structure to the fmc. I notice these things and it genuinely gives me the biggest sense of satisfaction when it’s done right. And my god was this book perfect. Their inner voices fit them to the T. Aiden’s inner monologue felt so real and vulnerable but also the grump in him was written in such a way it wasn’t overwhelming but just right.
I feel like Goldilocks with baby bears toys and porridge lol but it’s true! That’s the embodiment of how I feel about this book as a whole.
AidenLucie are REAL to me. They’re probably in the coffee shop right now eating their cruffins and laughing about how Maya’s got paint on the back of her shirt. When I tell you I’m obsessed I mean it in every sense of the word. They’re home family security. They’re warmth and sunshine and all the colours of the ocean when light hits it just right.
I wanna tattoo a heart around their names on my forehead so everyone knows they belong to me. Someone tell me u understand my obsession too and I’m not alone 😫💗🧸

It would’ve been four stars but the third act break up felt so silly and unnecessary to me.
The fmc as much as she was funny and headstrong she was also rlly stubborn for no reason at all? She would be wilfully ignorant about things that were so fucking obvious it was too annoying.
The mmc had me cackling over his clap backs pls their banter was hilarious. Best thing about the book for sureeee.
Overall this was a fun book and helped me get out of my slump quickly!
