‘Sexy as hell’

One of my best audiobooks in recent times

I do a LOT of audiobooks ..... heaps ….. and I don’t feel the need to write reviews. But this one is soooo different.

It takes the reader on a different journey to the normal enemies to lovers trope.

No spoilers below but there is some explanation to assist the reader.

The story was really good and avoided bogging down. It dealt with difficult issues in a positive and constructive and healthy way.

There is a good deal of spice / sex / steam and the opening chapters that may make some readers a little uncomfortable but perseverance pays off …. it is an essential part of the journey and character development later in the book.

It opens with a FMC who doesn’t believe in two people being together their whole lives and takes you on their journey and transformation. I liked the way it was a gradual story rather than a series of constructed situations. It made the characters feel more genuine.

I liked that the FMC was a strong lead character, rather than a paper-tiger that looked good until a strong breeze. She was strong and true to herself the way we would all want our daughters to be. Her internal dialogue helped the reader keep a balanced perspective.

The MMC was a lot more rounded than most of the stories and the fact that he kept a mature perspective but in some cases but was more reactionary (but not every situation needed to be a drama) was well balanced and more in keeping with the characters.

The overall character development lacked unnecessary grief and antagonism. Many books seem to need to create one of the key characters as a protagonist to get through the narrative or build a story. This took a very different approach to the problems and created a more positive vibe and perspective eve.

It addressed some ugly issues in a really strong and positive way and showed two main characters (who were mature and NOT the problem) dealing with the issues as a real couple would normally build a life i.e. as a couple that worked as a team and heaving each other’s back.

Overall I finished the book feeling good rather than wrung out from the drama and grief. A pleasant change.

Cannot understand why more people haven't read this .... it was AMAZING

Looking forward to the next one.

Should come with a trigger warning

This book should contain a trigger warning for the massively controlling, emotionally and verbally abusive relationship between the lead and her roommate. His character changes the book's tone from funny and light-hearted to a very difficult and stressful read.

Omg

This made me feel things. LIKE- IMAGING HOOKING UP W SOMEONE CASUALLY AND THEN EVENTUALLY MARRYING THEM. WITH A BABY ON THE WWY TOO OMGGG

Just amazing

I laughed, blushed and cried! I didn’t want this to end but it was so perfect <3 fell in love with the characters whole heartedly. Cannot recommend more! The performance of the cast was just perfect for the story! Loved it 110%
