- 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...

Was having fun reading a marriage of convenience story about a hockey player but then it turned into a thriller kinda??? Could have done w out that. Halfway through the book spooky shit started happening and it was not what I signed up for lmfao. And then the ending?!?? Straight up a kidnapping and more nefarious shit going on. 
Take all that out and I had a great time reading it lmao. There was no problem with it, it just wasn’t what I expected or wanted out of the book. I could easily pick up on what was happening and got a lil annoyed at the characters for not realising but oh well. 
Mild miscommunication trope but was solved relatively quick before the batshit started hahah.
