Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

2.5 Be aware that this is book 1 of 4. I did not know this going in and I probably would have avoided it had I known because I hate cliffhangers. Also be aware the synopsis is misleading because the entire book is about Pepper being in a relationship and having explicit sex with someone who is NOT Finn (the brother of her ex). There is a slow burn romance building between Finn & Pepper but this isn’t even remotely what I expected after reading the synopsis and being bombarded by ads on Facebook. I thought it’s be a sweet & sexy story of a girl falling in love and into bed with her gay ex-husbands’ brother. Not even close. This is my first book by the author and it turns out despite her being a prolific writer I’m not a fan of her style of writing. I find it choppy, too many unnecessary changes in POV, and although I applaud her for the commitment to safe sex it got to the point of “ick”. We all know condoms feel gross but they’re a necessary part of life....not sure we need the gross part in such detail in our “fantasy escape”....but maybe that’s just me. Alas, one of my major romance pet peeves is a Hero or Heroine having sex with someone else once they meet....especially when it happens on the page...so you can imagine my unhappiness with Pepper tearing up the sheets with her boyfriend throughout the whole book. Everything about this book was wrong for me except.......Finn. He’s my hook. I’m curious, even if I think he could do better than Pepper. Will I go back for books 2-3? I honestly don’t know because I’m mad about a lot right now....but if I do it’ll be for one reason and that is Finn.
