3 Stars
Overall Opinion: I liked this more than I thought I would tbh. It wasn't anything super deep and meaningful, but I didn't necessarily expect it to be. It was hot! It was pretty low angst (though the h ticked me off at the end), so it would be a good book for after a dark or intense read. I didn't love it, and I didn't hate it -- it was ok.
Brief Summary of the Storyline: This is Taylor and Mason's story. Taylor was just left by her fiancé without a reason why when his brother, Mason, shows up unexpectedly and shows her a wedding invitation for her ex and his ex girlfriend. Mason is convinced that the ex girlfriend is doing it to get back at him, and he asks Taylor to help him out in stopping the wedding by pretending to be a new couple. The more they spend time together, the more real feelings start to develop and they fall in love. There is some ex drama, some sexy times...and they do get a HFN ending.
POV: This was told in Taylor's POV. I agree with a GR friend in that having Mason's POV could've contributed a lot to the depth of the story.
Overall Pace of Story: Good. I never skimmed, and I thought it flowed well.
Instalove: No, they take a while to develop stronger feelings.
H rating: 4 stars. Mason. I liked him. He was hot, alpha, sweet, and all about the h!
h rating: 3 stars. Taylor. I liked her until the conflict at the end. I felt like she overreacted, and I was frankly confused by her behavior.
Sadness level: Low, no tissues needed.
Push/Pull: Yes (view spoiler)
Heat level: Moderate. They have some hot tension, chemistry, and scenes -- but not so much it took away from the storyline.
Descriptive sex: Yes
Safe sex: Yes. (view spoiler)
OW/OM drama: Yes (view spoiler)
Sex scene with OW or OM: No
Cheating: No (view spoiler)
Separation: Yes (view spoiler)
Possible Triggers: Yes (view spoiler)
Closure: This had a cute jump ahead epilogue, but (surprise, surprise) I wanted more! I would call it a HFN ending, but others might consider it a HEA. (view spoiler)
How I got it: It was part of my kindle unlimited subscription.
Safety: I'd say this one should be Safe for most readers.
