Review: Got better as I kept on reading

I started off rating this book 2 stars with a DNF at 33% then decided that I was being a total b!t$h by trying to review something that I never really gave a chance to complete. I went back to right my idiocy and found an extra star that should have been given.You see, at the 33% mark, I felt like the author was trying a little too hard to redeem both MC's flaws and past mistakes by highlighting about their overcompensating kindness and over-explaining their background to provide the readers with more likeable qualities. It kinda made me cringe and came across more caricature'ish. I actually liked the bones of the plot and I have always loved a crude, vulgar hero however, I just didn't feel any connection to both characters or like where the storyline was going - nor was I wanting to find out.The 42% mark added the extra star as it was dedicated to the history and beginning of the MC's love story. This was where the games and banter got interesting so I kept reading on to the last portion of the book where it dipped back into the same feeling and vibe (although not as bad) as the first portion. This did not add nor delete any stars simply because there were equally funny & clever scenes as well as cheesy, cringeworthy scenes. In the end we get the cute but neatly wound up HEA which was also sweet and fun to read.In saying this, I certainly won't cease reading any future stories by this author as I do find her very talented and loved her writing style in her first bookCan't Go Home (Oasis Waterfall Series) (Volume 1). I will definitely be looking out for her next story and look forward to seeing what she comes up with next!
