Not gonna lie, I forced myself to finish it.😵‍💫

I am disappointed and angry. I loved Mica in "home game" but I didn't like him at all in this book. Too much possessiveness and ‘machito alfa’ for me.
Charlie idealized things that should be completely normal in a husband and a future father💀

The last chapters seem like something out of a bad thriller movie.

In my opinion there have been several occasions where I have not felt that there was consent and it is something that I haven’t liked at all.

The ending lost me but I finished it anyway. I really enjoyed the build up of tension between them. I’m not sure if I missed trigger warnings but there definitely should be some for DUBCON. I was caught completely off guard. Other trigger warnings as well but that was the big one for me.

- questionable consent and he is very pushy
- it is creepy in which situations he gets turned on
- the first "erotic scene" made me cringe/want to stop reading the book (e.g. his dirty talk)
- the love interest would probably unironically call himself an alpha-male...
