Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of this eARC for an honest review.
I did not hate this one, but I didn’t like it either. I think Sunny and Isaac were a great match and compatible, but the story itself was a bit flat for me. Sunny’s justification of not wanting to be Isaac’s muse because she thought he was still caught up in the grief of losing/loving his wife, while simultaneously trying desperately to push him onto someone else to fulfill the position just didn’t make sense to me, especially when he was already practically begging for her to do it. I get trying to guard her heart, but that plot point just didn’t make the most sense to me.
There were funny moments and definitely some raunchy moments that were enjoyable, but all in all, this was just an okay read for me.
