Rating: 2.5/5This is another book that I wanted to like. I think my problem with this one was that it was too short and everything moved way too quickly. I liked Zoe. I’m always a fan of girls who go after what they want. She was shameless in pursuing Matt and I appreciated that. Matt was a bit wishy washy and that bothered me. I get why he was apprehensive, but that apprehension didn’t last long. Then he couldn’t tell his ex, but as soon as she found out and he was given an ultimatum by his boss, he decided he wanted to jump from barely being together with Zoe to marriage. And then as soon as they decided to get married, their parents magically showed up and they told them and they approved nearly immediately (after about a minute of apprehension, I know see where Matt gets his wishy washiness from).I did like that there was no mention from Matt or Zoe that they were step brother and sister after they started hooking up. I read another book once where step siblings got together and they kept calling each other brother and sister throughout the book even while they were having sex and it grossed me out to no end. The only people who mentioned their relationship were the people who didn’t understand, like Matt’s ex-girlfriend and boss and very briefly their parents. The intimate scenes were pretty hot and are what saved this from a straight 2 star rating.Arc provided by the publisher via Netgalley
