Overall it was good but i had mixed feelings. Some parts were really fun and others felt out of place. But I couldn’t quite put my finger on it.
Cory was fun and flirty, very charming. Doesn’t back down from a challenge. Total playboy.
Spencer immediately judged Cory based on the playboy thing and the money he seemed to have/flaunt occasionally.
After Cory parked in his spot and he blew up, the two kind of circled around each other from there. Cory was determined to win over Spencer. Spencer wasn’t interested in backing down.
I thought they had good chemistry and banter once Spencer got over himself and his prejudices
The book was called the bet but we heard very little about said bet.
10/10 grand gesture moment

This was grumpy x sunshine in the best way. It was done so well!!! I loved the banter, and how they could just rib each other back and forth all in good fun. The small but grand gestures to show they are observant and listening.
Fletcher fell SO HARD for Goldie. And little sweet pea!!! Fletcher was a ridiculously loving dog dad but it was so funny.

This was cute, and Charlie was the ultimate himbo golden retriever.
I needed more romance for Mr. Romance himself! He got like one grand gesture (and lots of random sandwiches) but a date or two would have been appreciated.
Liam and Charlie was super cute together. The short gymnastics king gets the hot guy everyone wants to date (and assumed they already were)
It was fun and I had a good time.

Very tense, and emotional. While the MMCs are taboo you can’t help but root for them.
Super codependent but you need their HEA.

Easy read, and predictable. But sometimes that is what you need in a book.
I enjoyed it overall, the characters had dimension, and it was an interesting storyline.

Ummm I did not care for it.
It was fine but nothing blew me away. I wasn’t excited about what was coming next, only that I wanted it to be over.

Not that thrilled by it to be honest.
I don’t get the hype, but to each their own.

Resisting Mr. Kane by Rosa Lucas

So much more than an age gap, boss’s boss’s boss romance. I felt like it showed what love is - the good and the bad.
