I mostly enjoyed this book, but not quite enough. I had some issues with how the story was mapped out. This is a mutual dislike-to-lovers story, in my opinion. The story moved pretty slow for 90% of the book and Sebastian and Jesse are sniping at each other until about 90%, and then all of a sudden, all the feelings come out and they are professing their love. Then, with that, it felt like a race to the finish. The pacing just felt off, and the emotions just didn't feel believable. I wanted to like this more than I did. I have always enjoyed Willow Dixon's work. I was also excited to learn more about Jesse after meeting him in Dad Next Door. Each of the characters were great, and I loved them individually. This story felt like it was more sex than emotion and romance. If that's what you want, then this is perfect for you. No shame there. That's just not everything I was expecting from this story. I still ate this up because, like I said, I liked the characters, and the smut was fun. I did like meeting some new characters at Jesse's mechanic job. I am looking forward to Isaac and Jamie's book because hearing about their shenanigans was hilarious, and I can only imagine what they will get up to in their own story. So, overall, this is good, not great. Read it for the good characters and smut, but not so much the emotions and romance.
