Firstly, who comes up with the names of some of these books? I got this one free on stuff your kindle day back in September and needed a light read after my last book (Honeysuckles, if anyone is interested). Hopefully this is what I’m after 

First impressions of Mr. Beast aren’t great, he comes off as an arrogant rich boy who thinks his time and opinion are worth more than everyone else. Even after seeing his reasoning for why he was such a 🔔🔚 I don’t feel makes it better. He was clearly blasé enough when he walked in the meeting only a few minutes late and while I understand the sentimental aspect of wanting the book physically, I still don’t understand the reason that keeping rights to the translation is so important. 

I get it, Lily is a genius. This seems to be repeated over and over particularly with the brag of having seven degrees and being almost through with an eighth, a doctorate in book restoration. I’m not sure how realistic that is considering she is only 28 on top of her and her father having financial difficulties. At this point I’m not seeing much in the way of personality from Lily. I’m hoping this will rectify itself when she goes to live with Dr. Beast 

In just two brief appearances I’m getting stalker vibes from Gavin. Prediction 🔮:  Gavin will find out about Lily’s situation with her father and blackmail her into dating him or worse.

So far (23%) there’s not a lot to say that is nice about Dr. Beast. He’s rude and arrogant and his only saving grace is that he is tall dark and handsome. Lily’s personality is starting to show through more now though.

“You’d rather stay in this room hungry than eat with me?” I straightened my spine, not letting my gaze waiver from his. “Yes.” He dropped his arms, clenching his hands into fists at his side. With a deep growl that reverberated through my room, he said. “Fine. Then don’t eat at all.”  I’ve got to be honest I rolled my eyes hard at this. 

Ms. Ketill is my favourite character so far. She’s finally brought out a different side of Jaxon. 

I finally started warming up to Jaxon but it turns out he’s engaged. It’s a sham engagement with his friend to protect her from an arranged marriage she didn’t want. 

Another creepy cameo by Gavin.

I definitely started to like Jaxon more as the book progressed. The relationship blossoming between them is lovely until you are reminded of the fiancée again and the fact that he is wilfully keeping it from Lily. Which doesn’t make a lot of sense, he’s helping a friend out so I can’t understand why he’s lying about it.

The lie eventually comes back to bite him as they always do. Rather than a simple conversation, Lily overhears about the engagement at the same time she is given bad news about her father resulting in her running again. 

Ding! Ding! Ding! I was on the money about Gavin what an utter 🔔🔚. I’m glad she stuck to her guns and told him to get lost. 

As expected everything is resolved quickly and all works out well for the couple. With a wedding taking place off page before the epilogue. 

Overall I got the light and easy read I was after. It wasn’t the best book I’ve ever read but it also wasn’t the worst. Perfect for when you need something low angst that isn’t too fluffy.
