I have mostly enjoyed the books I have read by Cora Rose, but this one just wasn't it for me. By the halfway point, I became invested, but not overly so. I was able to finish the book. There were just a lot of things that felt unfinished in this one. The beginning of Theo and Logan's "situation" felt kind of slimy without any context because we jumped right into the "transactions" but only from Logan's POV. We don't get Theo's POV for a good few chapters. Theo's past didn't feel like it was addressed enough. We just get one scene, and that's it. And then Logan and Landon's issues were resolved almost too easily. Neither of these things needed a bunch of drama and angst, just more depth. It made the story and characters feel very one dimensional and surface level. It held my interest in the end, but it took a while to get there, and I just didn't feel very satisfied when it was over. It's kind of disappointing since I have really liked everything else I have read from this author. This just didn't feel up to their usual quality of work.
