2.6〜2.8 stars. I am not a fan of Gideon and Sam as a couple, I felt much more chemistry between Sam and Aiden (I also liked him much better)… I just didn’t feel a connection between SxG, even their “chemistry” is mehh. It probably doesn’t help that the first time we were introduced to Gideon (and before I knew the main love interest was Gideon), I said to myself I hope this isn’t him…? ??‍♀️. I don’t know, I just feel more for Aiden than I ever did for Gideon ??‍♀️.

Also, while I do really love Joe Leslie as a narrator, his steamy scenes nearly always make me cringe or try not to laugh because they are so over done, it’s like bad acting (primarily for the bottom if there is one)…. Sam’s voice just felt so over done and over exaggerated and a little annoying. Additionally, the (French????) accent that he used for Gideon was quite difficult at times to understand… I’m also confused as to where it came from but ??‍♀️.

I probably won’t listen to the next book because I’ve heard that the two MCs featured there are even more annoying ??‍♀️??‍♀️??‍♀️??‍♀️
