So, I enjoyed a lot of this book but there were so many problems that I just can't get over. The beginning was pretty great and it was, at times a very sweet romance. The plot was lacking action and actual substance in both parts one and two of this book and I was on the edge of my seat several times during this read but nothing really happened until the end. It was rather unsatisfying and the romance and smut on its own didn't make up for what the plot and development was missing. This being said, I did enjoy the read as a whole but I can't get over the fact that I often found myself rolling my eyes. The pet names the characters have for each other for example got on my nerves so much that at one point I wished I had the physical copy of the book and not the ebook so I could just throw it across the room. And you know it's pretty serious when I'm thinking about how satisfying it would be to damage a book. LIKE WHAT!? Although one would argue the fact the author made me feel so many emotions is a great thing. But oh my goodness was it so tiring to read! 

The stereotypes were crazy and quite frankly ridiculous. I mean at several points the female protagonist is thinking to herself: of how the guy is a player, and he has needs and all that crap and I was like omg I don't hate myself enough!

RATING: 58%

Me encantó, en especial Ashton <3 desde que leí la sinopsis este libro me llamó la atención porque no había leído uno parecido a la trama de este y sin duda no me defraudó.

I will not lie and say it's the best book I have ever read, it's not. But I found this book on Wattpad and it was one of my favorites. Not because of the writing that's for sure. It was the fact that it simply made me laugh, and I mean that in a great way. It's super cliche and horrendously cheesy, but sometimes that's all you need.
