Maybe its just early Jeffries writing style, but I did not love this book.
It felt sloppy and repetitive. The thought processes of both lead characters made zero sense to me. They were either lying or convincing themselves of some crazy idea to not do something or to lie about something else. It was a ride. Also the editing was rough in this book. I probably just have an old copy of it but still.
I enjoyed Alec enough. Katherine was fine as well. I don't know the point of Sydney at all. Like his role in Katherine's life was significant but he was just cut out like nothing when the time came. Just felt so weird and wrong. He also felt just inserted to say "hey look at me, LGBTQIA+ representation here! Look at me being diverse", which did not like. We deserve better than that. ALSO, Katherine's mom is THE WORST. Like absolute worst. I have no love for that woman and I don't know how Katherine does.
I'm probably being too harsh on an early 2000s book. I do love Sabrina Jeffries' writing (Lachlan is one of my favorite male leads), this one just isn't it for me.
