My Rating: 🍪🍪.5
Genre: Romance

I gotta stop getting excited about these super-hyped-on-social-media romance books. Alex Volkov has everything: brains, looks, inexplicable ability to sing, but he’s haunted by demons from his past. Ava Chen is his best friend’s little sister who’s just unreliable enough that her brother asks Alex to look out for her. Surprise, surprise, instead of doing that he sleeps with her.

Alex really did not seem appealing to me. He felt very flat and one dimensional and too possessive and focused on how kinky he is in bed. Both main characters have dark pasts but deal with it in completely opposite ways. I was interested to see how that would play out as the story went on. I will say I didn’t see the twist coming and it added a much needed level of depth and complexity to the story that I appreciated and was exciting and compelling and complicated.

Other than that, I didn’t really care about the characters and it felt like the story was trying too hard to be something it wasn’t (unclear quite what).
