1.0

Do not recommend reading this. There are a number of problematic elements that are not framed adequately. Instead, the a**hole alpha male trope who is secretly lovable is carried out to a really unpleasant degree. 

A line that stuck in my head went sth like this: "you saying no is my biggest aphrodisiac", uttered in a sexual context. Just no, do not read. I wish I had listened to my gut and not finished it. Heroine is OK, rather likable actually,but well... unfortunately the book is about both of them......

This was quite literally one of the best books books I've ever had the pleasure of reading. It was funny and full of wit, but also deep and made me cry a couple of times! And the spice...good lord its SO GOOD. There is AMAZING twist in it, too. 10/10 recommend, THIS IS A MUST READ. The entire series has become an all time fave!
