Slow and boring first half had me thinking about DNF. Enjoyable second half, loved the end!

Didn't like the descriptive sex scenes. They didn't add anything to the story except for a plot device that she
likes her sex raunchy, kinky and rough
. I understand some slow people need their hands held and must be "shown" and not just "told" though 🙄. Anyway, that's my biggest gripe used in my rating.
