Ok, i give up on the romance genre. For good. After reading dozens of romance books, I can't help but find this boring and dull af. The writing is overdramatic and incredibly unoriginal. Not a single sentence that made me appreciate the English language, no humour, no interesting plot or characters, nothing. Just another formulaic romance book that makes it very hard to believe to me that the author put more than five minutes worth of effort in thinking it up and writing it. Not worth the time.

I'm so disappointed I don't how to express my disappointment without expletives because i really like and respect this author and will certainly be reading anything else he puts out next but also what the actual fuck was this mind-numbing slog? I was confused half the time as to what was going on because i couldn't find anything in here that gave one reason to care. None. I devoured the previous 3 installments and they are some of my favourite reads of all time across all genres and i was really looking forward to reading about them again but this felt like an insult.
