Better than banging three girls at once?” I nudge him with my shoulder. He looks around. “Is that an option at the moment? Is that what you meant when you said we’re surfing? Because if so, I’m one hundred percent in.” “Sadly, no,” I reply. Third, the narrator for this book was great and her version of Gemma's mom sounded a lot like Jennifer Coolidge, but the way she chenged her voice when she read Ben's lines was so grating I couldn't handle it, especially during smutty scenes/dialogues. Gemma is looking for her happily ever after, only she has this ridiculous idea in her head that she wants a picture-perfect Hallmark movie fairy-tale, to fall in love and be swept off her feet by a small-town guy who will take her away from the rat race of the big city and stressful job and teach her to love the quiet life. OW (Other Woman)/OM (Other Man) drama: Yes some jealousy, ex drama for both, and the spoiler tag below

You know what’s fun about the men you date?” he replies. “The way they don’t exist in the first place.” His eyes dip to my mouth, and I find words emerging from my throat, words I don’t approve of. “Fine. You. Wouldn’t. Know. What. To—”

He rolls his eyes and mutters bloody Americans under his breath. “No, I don’t require cocaine. Just a bar and food. And music. And a valet, I guess. Two hundred people, maybe.”

Could you even get a kilogram of cocaine?” he asks. “Is that something I should have been hitting you up for all along?”

Ow drama- hero is a pretty big hoe for the first 20%. This includes him bringing multiple women home, and heroine seeing them leave or having to wake them up to leave, or her swnding flowers, or them texting her to meet up with him and vice versa, and just a lot of talk about the women. No drama besides mentions of those women after the 20%. Hero's ex fiance is also his stepmother and she appears. It doesn't cause drama but she's a bish and hero also has some trust issues because of her. after they kinda got together that's when my opinion did 180 and i couldn't stand Gemma. Jesus her indecisiveness, jumping to conclusions and assuming things annoyed me so much. She acted like an ungrateful brat always misundertanding stuff and doing stupid shit instead of just talking it out with Ben.

My breath skitters over my lips while I contemplate repeating it, but I’ve done this before, and it didn’t end well for me. “Nothing.”I had no idea this was a slow burn when I started reading and boy, it took them almost 70% of the story to finally touch. This book made me work for it so hard, I was literally panting when it finally happened.

Toward the end of the book Gemma began to really annoy me. She became whiney and insecure, and it just built and built to the point of my almost disliking her but praise the lord the moaning stopped. I think it may have been different had it been dual POV rather than solely from Gemma’s. All in all, the book has its good and bad sides, which may change from one reader to another. Although I got annoyed with certain things, my love for the book never changed. I loved it despite the things I didn’t like.That’s not a ‘little get-together’. That’s a wedding. Did you finally find someone worthy of you? Just so we’re clear, I’m not sure you can legally wed your own reflection.” Each of them admired the other’s brains and skills, which is another thing I find incredibly appealing. They were attuned to things that others around them didn’t notice but they both did. I love it when two people are on the same wavelength to such a degree; it made the chemistry between them sing. The repartee and the chemistry in this book was the best I’ve come across in all the 2022-published books I’ve read so far.
