Julian and Tara are true and real couple goals

I'm a big fan of the romance genre so I was hesitant that this hero and heroine's love story would be a boring cliche, but it went beyond. It was fun getting to know Julian and Tara. If you like Katie Reus' Breaking Her Rules, you'll love this.

The narrator was great too.

Average

I lost interest halfway through the book. I couldn't quite get a feel for what the female MC personality type was, it felt like it kept on changing. There wasn't much interaction between the MC before the first sex scene, so I didn't get a feel for their attraction towards each other or sexual chemistry.

The whole storyline just felt a bit unrealistic and underdeveloped.

The narrator was average.
