Review: Not your average romance...so not my cup of tea

I don't know what got me almost hating this book, maybe it was the fact that after reading the prequel this booked jumped a whole year ahead or the fact that Dovey (really?😒) and Cuba (again, really?) never really got enough time to build up a believable romance together...you know what, I think it's both and much more.Cuba...I wanted to like him and I guess I did but in reality if someone had to do those things he did to Dovey I wouldn't look at him again. It's degrading yourself honestly. And enough with he is hot and beautiful and rich...arghDovey came off strong but yet came off so weak. I understand her background and it helps to understand why she is how she is but I couldn't get past what she did after being with Cuba. The author shouldn't of gone that far...if the sleeping with a man to pay off debt could of been prevented then it should of before it happened. Left a bad taste in my mouth and it wouldn't of surprised me if she slept with her own father (yuck). Dovey really pissed me off because she was just too forgiving...Spider (what is up with these names?!) did her wrong yet she went looking for forgiveness and Cuba of all did her wrong many times and yet he got off without enough groveling to satisfy me.In the end I thought their romance took too long to make a turn (probably after 90%) and unnecessary things occurred when it shouldn't of gotten that far. It's not your average romance...it's more like the hardship life of two young adults with a pinch of romance. If you read the prequel trust me you will feel confused in the beginning of this book after they fast-forward a year since that book...made me double check that I didn't miss a book in between. And even though it showed flashbacks of their life, it just wasn't enough to feel the romance build up. But hey, it might work for some but it sure didn't work for me.Def not worth 5 stars
