This book is a solid dislike from me. 

​

I hate not liking books, why did this have to be so annoying?

​

I listened to this book through the audiobook, because I knew I needed something to listen to while I worked that wouldn't have me dying to continue reading and finish it immediately. This book fit perfectly for that, because man I didn't even want to continue it for the next week working. I did finish it though, because it is mindless and enaging enough that I was listening. Plus a two week break gave me time to forget how annoyed I was from the first 3 hours of listening.

 

The plot in this story is fun! The fact that they're coworkers in the same line of work for relationships yet they both stink at it is ironic. I  was excited to listen to a little romcom cutesy audiobook, but it was not cutesy at all.  

​

The  readers were horrible. The male voice was extremely douchey sounding -granted Ryder is a bit of a douche too so it fit his character. The female voice was more eh. It felt like a teacher reading almost.

 

The characters themselves were annoying. Nicole wasn't too bad. She was  brave and confident so  her fear to admit she loved him felt a little out of place. 

Ryder was arrogant and cocky and I hated it. The way he  spoke was just  frustrating!

 

At times Ryder was cute though...or was he? I struggle with if I ever found him cute, or if I think I did just because Nicole thought he was.

​

The writing of this book made me want to pull my hair out.  This is porn!!! Not a fun story! Gosh, it was worse than 50 Shades. At least in 50 Shades the overwhelming amount of sex scenes are expected and hot. In here it wasn't shown that it would  be done  so much, and it was not hot at all. I mean do I really wanna hear about your dog while you're getting it on? Or that gross attempt at dirty talk? No thanks. I'll pass. I literally would pause and scrunch my nose in disgust at certain points. I don't know why the author thought this type of writing is cute or why some readers do too. If you want a hot smutty book, trust me you could do better. 

​

The only redeeming factor of this book was the epilogues and those sold short. I loved that there was more than one epilogue, and I love that it showed things like a glimpse of the wedding, the birth, ect. I did find it stupid that in Ryder's they went into detail about the babysitting plan, but then the whole date and finding out Nicole's pregnant and that it's a girl was rushed. Why focus on dumb details but skim the ones that matter?

​

 

I really want to rate it a 1, but I'm giving it a two because at least the plot was good. It's just the sucky writing really. (I can't even judge because I can't write at all, but I hated the writing and characters ways of wording things/thinking).
