You’ll have to read it to find out why it’s a really good book.
A woman with a plan is dangerous
Steamy but appropriately so. Good character development.
This book started pretty good but both the leads cant make up their minds if they love each other or not. They both believe whoever they are talking to at that particular time. The hero is undecided at all times what he wants out of life and assumes he deserves nothing, not love, happiness or joy. Im half through it and its soooooo deoressing. I have bought tne others in this series 4 i think and hope they r better, surely they cant be worse!!
