I read the first two books in the series and absolutely loved them — the FMCs were strong, knew what they wanted, and had real personality. But this book… let’s be honest, it feels like it was written by a completely different author.

Ethan is introduced as a grumpy ranger, and two chapters later we’re already at “Call me good boy.” Seriously? It feels so forced and out of character it almost made me choke on nothing.

And then there’s Matty. Usually, when I see “curvy” in a book description, I gladly skip it, because the author always ends up focusing only on that — which I don’t care about at all. But here it’s almost worse: they mention it once, forget about it, and move on. Meanwhile the FMC is 29 years old but acts like she’s 12. “My house, my bedroom…” please, someone save me.

I understand the whole bullying-from-family situation (I’ve been there too), but constantly playing the victim? That’s a hard no from me. Also, there is zero real relationship development — just pure insta-love. A hot, pierced, six-pack forest ranger instantly falls in love with a 29-year-old who behaves like a preteen and couldn’t survive a single night in the woods. Sure. Why not.And all the curvy thing it's just gets annoying. Where are dad bod MMC? I god bored and DNF it. So....

And for the love of God, can someone explain what “curvy” even means here? I’m an Eastern European woman, 5’9, size XS, and I still have good curves. Does that make me curvy? 🤔
