It lowkey feels sacriligeous to give this book such a low rating but my reasoning is that, as I grow older, two things irk me:
  • Young Nate (wanna knock him out basically)
  • That Tammy was 15 and he was 25 when they found out they were mates - and yeah yeah I know nothing happens then and he isn’t creepy or anything but why couldn’t NS have made her 16 or 17 - wouldn’t have killed the storyline for her to have been 16 just saying. It’s at least a lil better than 15 but anyway. 

i find with these novellas, as I’ve been reading them for a decade now, that the way I respond to them is dictated by my age. And unfortunately, Nate gets less “oooh broody smexy man” and more “f***ing hell, you’re an idiot”

And that’s my two cents 😘😘 a quick easy happy read
