3 Stars
Overall Opinion: I feel like this one had a lot of potential, but it sadly was just kind of...meh. I get their lust and there were some pretty good sexy times, but I wanted more romance I guess. I also felt like their conflict was kind of stupid after a while. The h also turned into a stupid, horny puddle whenever the H so much as looked at her! That is definitely one of my pet peeves for hs, because I like the strong willed females that use their brains as well as their sexual prowess!
Brief Summary of the Storyline: This is Rosalinde and Gray's story. They meet one night in a small inn when the weather has them off the roads. Because of the over capacity, they are forced to share a meal together and both are instantly attracted to one another and end up having a hot night together. They are shocked to find that they are headed to the same place where Rosalinde is going to support her sister for her upcoming wedding and Gray is trying to stop his brother from marrying her sister. They bump heads a little, but the strong attraction and connection they felt towards one another is too hard to deny. There is some family/past drama and some sexy times...and they get a HEA ending.
POV: This alternated between focusing on Rosalinde and Gray in 3rd person narrative.
Overall Pace of Story: Good until the abrupt ending. I never skimmed and I thought it flowed well otherwise.
Instalove: Not really. Instalust? Yes. In the grand scheme of things the feelings did develop rather quickly, but I wouldn't call it instalove.
H rating: 3.5 stars. Gray. I liked him alright. I thought his insistence to stop the wedding was a little weird considering they were all open about what it was. But I did appreciate how he cared for the h.
h rating: 2.5 stars. Rosalinde. She was okay. I didn't like the way her mental capabilities went to mush when the H showed interest.
Sadness level: Low, no tissues needed
Push/Pull: Yes, but mild (view spoiler)
Heat level: Good. They have some good tension, chemistry, and scenes -- but not so much it takes away from the story.
Descriptive sex: Yes
OW/OM drama: No
Sex scene with OW or OM: No
Cheating: No
Separation: No
Possible Triggers: Yes (view spoiler)
Closure: This had a kind of abrupt ending with what I would reluctantly call a HEA. I would've liked some time with them as an actual couple and maybe a farther glimpse into their future! (view spoiler)
Safety: This one should be Safe for most safety gang readers
