This is the second book I read from this author and unfortunately it’s still not doing it for me. There are just too many things that drive me crazy.

The MC’s dreadfully long inner monologue (sometimes even disrupting a dialogue for so many pages you don’t even remember what the discussion was about).

The constant repetitions of words and descriptions.

The repetitions WITHIN the inner monologue.

The extra detailed clothing descriptions (this really, really has to stop) and the convoluted sentences to say SIMPLE things.

The fact that Aiden was NOT likable. He isn’t pleasant, not with anyone but especially not to Vanessa, and the way he acted so ENTITLED and rude from the beginning was not cute, it was infuriating and insufferable. It got slightly better in the last third of the book, and his behavior slowly changed, but it was a bit too late for me.

And the worst part� his physical description. If the adjectives used to describe him were supposed to make me swoon, they didn’t. I literally just pictured a half-Hulk half-Shrek man who really needed to get rid of the stick up his ass. It seemed like the author might have suffered a heart attack if the words ‘huge,� ‘big,� ‘wide� or ‘muscular� didn’t appear at least once every 2 pages.

Anyways I will stop there and just admit these books are not for me and I tried, I really tried, I wish I was into Zapata’s books like so many readers... But I just can’t.

A weak 2.5 stars, rounded up to 3, only thanks to the five scenes that I actually enjoyed and Leo the Golden Retriever.
