Antes de leer el libro le dije a mis amigas que no quería leerlo porque me parecía demasiado turbia la diferencia de edad y todo el merequetengue de ser el padre de su novio y bla bla bla. Entones por qué lo leí? Ni puta idea, de verdad no se, pero me tuvieron 200 páginas queriendo que esos dos culiaran

Nope. No. NO. When I first read the premise to this book, I wasn't going to add it to my TBR list because even though I like Penelope Douglas I am very iffy on the whole forbidden romance thing. But everyone had it as one of their top books of 2018. But a 19 year old falling in love with her boyfriend's dad? Too freaking weird. Slow burn and then as soon as they DID get together, I just felt so uncomfortable reading...

Spoilers!!! Age gaps isn't always my thing, but I did enjoy this book. I appreciated that the couple didn't actually cheat on the boyfriend, because that would just suck. I liked it, it got steamy and spicy which I enjoyed.

Surprisingly really enjoyed this book. Very spicy, maybe too spicy, but easy and enjoyable. Good book to start off the year

I had very high hopes for this one, and I enjoyed it, but I didn't love it. The angst and drama that went on for such a large portion of the book just seemed to get old after a while.

All in all, a 3.75ish age gap romance, which was pretty good, but just didn't do it for me all the way.
