🐴 It read like the author had a bingo card for "most common phrases in romance books" and was determined to hit every single square. Yes romance novels by nature of the genre can be formulaic but this one was determined to frustrate me. 

🐴The main characters whole romance was built on the foundation that they were super horny for each other. I felt zero chemistry between Emmy and Luke

🐴I understand that this is a ‘man-written-by-a-woman’ and, therefore, meant to embody the female gaze. But no man is out here noticing the exact material of a woman’s skirt. This was further confirmed when I asked my own husband what material my pants were that day, and he had absolutely no clue (colour and pattern yes, material no). While I appreciate the effort to make the male lead more attuned to detail, it ended up feeling more like wishful thinking than realistic characterization.
