Mansplainer

Loved the third book in this series and I’m sad to see it end. A marriage of convenience for both! She keeps her foundation in tact and he gets to “date” his wife (the dating is set up by his cousins from the previous books) i love a good curvy H romcom. This was a sweet and funny romance that completed the series perfectly. I loved every minute of it. This author as usual does not disappoint. I voluntarily read this book, thank you to the publisher.

So not worth the wait. I knew after like the 2nd delay that I should let the series go. But I hate doing that and who can resist the unveiling of the final gift?!? The story had potential. I love that Nash seemed delighted to be greeted by Chelle's curves, if not her wayward pets. But then he never really caressed them. There was no build up to a true attraction on either of their parts. Their love scenes came across as perfunctory, at best. There was no art to them & were essentially "wham bam thank you maam." Flynn put far more effort into describing the netherworld the character wrote about. I thought her being a bit older was the basis for a confident woman. Nope. Also, something that distracted from the lovestory was the author's insistence on clumsily signaling acceptance and anti-misogyny. It was annoying, even for a proponent. Ultimately, there was no arc & I didn't believe their love. I think Flynn had to give the editors something and sadly, this was it.

The final Beckett cousin was such a surprise!! As much as I wanted to read Nash’s story I was also dreading his exhausting mansplaining. Nash’s relationship with Chelle was basically perfection. I loved how they brought out the best in each other and though there were quite a few bumps in the road, nothing felt insurmountable. This series was so much fun!
