Review: Really, Really Close to Five Stars, but...

...something's holding me back. I'm not sure I know what or why. It is arguably the best of the "Enemies to Lovers" series. "Shane and Trey", I think, might be the better book, but the "enemies" part of that relationship is a little weak. Karl and Paul in "St-St-Stuffed", on the other hand, do indeed have a bitter history to overcome. Their characters are well-developed and believable. The relationship between them builds really well. The sexual tension and subsequent sex scenes are near perfect: not too graphic, not too many, not too few. If push comes to shove, I think perhaps I'd have to say that I object to the unrealistic (in my opinion) way that Karl's ambition to be a chef is ultimately realized. Or it could simply be the remarkably crap title that stops me from going for more than (at best) 4-1/2 Stars. It is worth a read, though; and maybe even a re-read.
