The writing is fine and the story has potential (it's giving more wolf shifter than fae vibes including the knotting).
My problem was the insta-love/insta-lust. Wynter is just in love with Summer because she's his mate and she's just in lust with him because he's so good looking. I didn't feel any deeper connection between the two, maybe it happens in the second half, but I prefer to feel an emotional connection between the MCs before I reach the middle of a novel. Additionally Summer doesn't act like someone who's in their mid twenties, in some scenes the was literally so dumb (TSTL) I could only roll my eyes....more

Nope, this isn't for me. Lore is a shy mouse, that wouldn't have bothered me if she didn't feel like a doormat and child at the same time. The romance was non existent, it was pure insta-love/insta-lust. The only connection they have until now is sex. He doesn't know anything about her or she about him, but that's fine after the painful first time they have great sex. It's just so boring, there's no tension, no yearning, no chemistry, nothing. I thought I could power through, it's just 300 pages, but after the first third I'm just not into it at all!...more

I'm bored. The romance hasn't really started and the fee text messages and interactions didn't really work for me, I just didn't feel any chemistry between Emmy and Liam. I felt bad for Emmy, for being bullied because of her weight and being mistreated by her mother. But for someone who's putting every men in their place she's an absolute doormat for her mother. Yes, it's a toxic relationship but it just didn't fit her character because her mother was a total bitch. And although Emmy's right when she points out misogyny, I still found it annoying. Maybe it was the content in itself that pulled me out of the story (give me some rest from the real world please) or the way Emmy handled it, I just was annoyed by it. Technically she was in the right but as a reader it annoyed me. So, even though the story wasn't bad or anything I have no interest to continue....more

It's just so boring. The romance is merely there and Drystan and Ceridwen are unlikable. Drystan is just grumpy and Ceridwen seemed nice but ignorant, shallow.
I liked Bronwyn and Malik but in the first half of the book basically nothing happens, especially not romance wise. The major stuff happened in the first book aka the insta-love/lust, so here we just got a few sweet moments and some jealousy. It's not a bad book but I just have no interest to force myself to finish it....more

It was advertised as slowburn and yeah, maybe they take time to fall in love, but it was so insta-lusty and I feel like they won't take long to be intimate, that I was disappointed. I love my romances to be full of yearning and tension and I didn't feel like this story would give me that. It wasn't bad, I'm sure a lot of readers will like it but it just wasn't for me....more

The premise was interesting, both of them were sort of in lust and love, since they met 10? years ago. But since I'm not a fan of insta-love and insta-lust I wasn't really interested in finishing the story after I paused it for a few days. It wasn't bad and I definitely would've liked it (I think) but it just wasn't good enough to keep my attention.
Some scenes were quite sweet though, but those were not enough to make me pick up the book again....more

The reason is simple: As a non native speaker I just can't deal with the written Scottish (?) accent. Ye, ken, ha', dinna, e.g "I ken what your Gran is trying to say is, ha’ ye given any thoughts on your future?" I just can't read it, every time I read one of those words it completely throws me off.

I really liked the beginning, but the "love at first hearing about" from the FMCs part (she was in love with him before she started working for him or rather she started working for him at 16 because she heard about him from her grandmother and liked him based on those stories) and the "love at first sight" from the MMCs side were super disappointing. Where's the yearning? The Chemistry? The development of feelings?
It's not a bad story but honestly it works for me as a short story at the point that I'm in the story, I don't have an interest to read more about the characters. ...more

No, this wasn't for me. The book was recommended as being similar to "Dear Enemy" by Kristen Callihan but aside from the MMC being the FMCs childhood bully while being sort of interested in her, the books aren't similar at all.
I just couldn't stand the whole US smalltown vibe, with the disgusting people, the truck nuts, guns, prayers before dinner and so on. It was absolutely aweful. And the romance wasn't much better. There was no romantic development between Cash and Glenna. He just loves her since they were children, who knows why. Aside from her beautiful tits. But of course he would do anything for her. And Glenna jumps from hating him to humping him.
The romance was bad, the spice okay and the story absolutely boring and annoying. The way everyone in this shitty town is on the past sheriff's side even when he's arrested and the truth is revealed. Even Cash's finds excuses "there must be a mistake... he wouldn't do that". Instead Glenna and her father are humiliated, threatened and boycotted... awful town with awful people.
The only scene that was okay was when Glenna was shot by one of Cash's clients. That scene was interesting and the banter was nice.
And I hated the cover because the model looks like being on steroids but the bad kind. That looks absolutely miserable. BUT Cash's description in the book isn't much better, so it's a good representation....more

They land in bed without any meaning full connection or conversation. The background story seemed interesting but I'm not into insta-lust. The spice is probably smutty for some, but I didn't like the writing style. I found it rather off putting than sexy. It wasn't intimate, romantic or sexy at all, it was just there and explicitly written. But not in a good way. It didn't even fit Ailis in my opinion, she didn't come off like she's so super horny. Ronan hasn't had sex in a long time but talks like he's a seasoned pornstar. Well, some people will like it but not me....more
