Then when he’s again offered the art director credit and another pay increase (50% this time) he “can’t refuse” and also “does deserve it bc he gave her ideas and talked her down from the ledge a few times.” He ultimately had her given the director credit in the catalog but he kept all the money he received for HER ideas. And now you get to flash your nipples and ass to everyone while the man is fully clothed with YOUR job! Wait I forgot that the guy is okay with all of this bc he’s supporting his wastrel of a brother and can’t say no to giving him money. Oh and were also paying for him to flirt with you. I mean can u imagine going to a photography job and then being told no actually you don’t have the job yet, you now have to compete with a crusty dude, and now your photos were so good but your friend actually showed us your personal pinup photos invading your privacy in the process and we’re going to pressure you to be the model instead but don’t worry you’ll still have creative control but also we are going to pay the male photographer-who took your job and will get the credit-MORE money to spy on you bc you’re actually not going to be the art director we’re just going to make you think you are. (thank you to the publisher/netgalley for the e-arc) in this case, it didn't feel like tension built - the tension was behind the scenes if anything? i've looked at almond croissants with more yearning and angst than there was in this book.Ī lot of time was skipped also, sometimes a month passing in half a sentence, so it felt simultaneously hard to focus and like if i didn't focus everything would completely fall apart immediately.Īaaand the workplace element also felt like too much - by the end it wasn't clear how they could coexist and date and work and blah blah blah.Įxactly the kind of real world complications i read romance to forget about.īottom line: this had so much going for it! just not the things i needed. I am in a romance novel for the miscommunication. Primarily the pacing of this was off to me - it was like: a kiss at 25%, sex scene a bit after, exclusivity a bit after that, and an ily pretty soon?

This isn't the first time that my least fav part of a romance novel has been, you know, the romance. Romance novels with a romance that doesn't click with you. Romance novels with fun groups of friends >

Romance novels with excellent body positivity >
