Blurb: Becoming a father was the proudest day of my life. Becoming a godfather was a close second. Paul and Emily Clarke have been my best friends for over twenty years. We’ve gone through it all. We were the three musketeers. But when my best friends are ripped from all of our lives, leaving behind a broken piece of themselves I know it’s up to me to put things back together. Only the pieces aren’t fitting the way they used to. The feelings aren’t what they used to be. The actions…. Let’s just say I’ve made some questionable ones lately. Does that stop me from wanting her? From reaching for her? From craving her? I wish I could tell you yes. But that would make me a liar.

DNF at 50%
I kind of went into this knowing that the tropes were not for me. this is an age gap romance where the main female character is 18 and the main male character is ~41, and he is her Godfather and a person who has known her her whole life and has been around her her whole life.
Her parents die near the start of this book– that's not really a spoiler it's in the blurb– and so she's going through grief and he's going through grief (he was their best friend). also he is her boss/ it's a boss/ intern situation
This was really over the top in a way that I didn't care for, and I felt like the writing was not it for me-- I found it clunky and a struggle to get through.
So I wasn't enjoying the writing, I was not enjoying the characterizations, I don't like those tropes and this did not change my mind, so I just went ahead and DNF’ed it at 50%.
