While there are certain aspects of this book which I enjoyed, there are other aspects which I didn't. Sometimes I liked the lead characters, Logan and Grace. I thought they had good chemistry together, which kept me invested in the book. Others times, they grated me, like with their sexism and misogyny. I found both to be excessively harsh to Ramona. Grace especially made me dislike her after she victim blames Ramona, who was kidnapped and almost sexually assaulted by a group of guys. Logan's dislike of Ramona felt too over-the-top especially considering how he made things uncomfortable with Garrett and Hannah. Both characters were a bit too judgmental for me.
As a whole, the book is a fast read. There's not a lot of in depth writing for Grace and Logan's relationship. It's very much an insta-lust connection. I do think they had spark together. There's a good amount of steam in the book. I just think the author could have done a better job developing their romance; and, also, Grace as a character. By the end of the book, I felt like I understood Logan more as a character then I did Grace.
