Ava March's books are always well written but this time the two characters didn't connect with me like some of her other characters. Everything seemed just a little too rushed, IMHO. (

I didn't really care too much for this story. The writing style was a bit stilted and I don't think it flowed very well. I kept getting jarred out of the story whenever the words "arse" and "Arsen" were mentioned. I really wished his name was different. It was very distracting. I did like Arsen and Henry however; there seemed to be genuine feelings between them. (

This book was too short. I needed more of a build of to Arsen and Henry's relationship. Arsen came off as kind of uncaring and douchey, and I think had we seen some previous interactions between the two and had seen Arsen watching Henry and learned his intentions toward him, and gotten a glimpse of a softer side, their relationship would have felt more believable.
