WHY is Shiloh like he is all the time? I get people being damaged, having mental health issues, fluctuating meds etc. but this guy is abrasive like a chainsaw. 
 
At about 55% I started to feel like the story was dragging. It felt like the author was trying to write a spicy book, but the characters are just getting nekked and kissing. The story is just as important as the physical intimacy the MCs feel. I didn't really feel like the +20page touching scenes needed to be what they were. Personally, I would have been super happy with less focus on the MCs physical intimacy and more exploring the mental connection that they had beyond their historical connection.
