I can't remember the last time I cared so little about the two main characters. Honestly, it took me a week to read this because they were so boring. I usually love the friends to lovers trope, but I just didn't buy that these two were even friends. I was repeatedly told they were friends, but they didn't really act like friends.Kim is just...blah. There is nothing interesting about her. She supposedly survived this awful marriage, but she's still clueless and spineless.Jake is more of an overbearing jerk than an alpha male type hero. He interfers in all aspects of her life, not for her betterment, but to control her and keep her for himself. Kim baffled me because she was such an incredibly stupid doormat. Then my favorite part was *spoiler* after their first quick f***, where no protection is involved, Kim knows there is a chance she might be pregnant, yet she proceeds to get drunk... a lot. All I could keep thinking was - Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, hello!I'm not sure what's going on at Entangled lately, because the last couple of Brazen books have been pretty awful. What a shame since the line started out so promising.
