I hate to say this, but I think I am falling out of love with those book. I feel like nothing is going on and it's getting repetitive with the back and forth with Summer and Aiden. We're not learning anything new, nor are new problems or solutions happening. I'M TIRED!!!

This book was a wild ride. I stumbled across it at the library and it stuck out due to its sprayed edges. I thought the idea of a sexy demon romance would be a good read while the season warms up.
Is this a literary masterpiece? No. Is it a lot like those YA demon/angel/monster romances you read when you were like 13? Yes. But, the writing is stronger than those. It just has the same vibes. It's angels, demons, half angels, half demons with sex and a plus sized main female character. And it was a lot of fun.
The best part is that the novel isn't 100% pure smut and author, Aurora Ascher did write a pretty compelling narrative with its cliches and all. I liked the characters, I enjoyed that it was set in Montreal, the world building was enough to keep the story going. This novel isn't heavy supernatural world building, but it's a decent story with a lot of spice and two main characters who are likeable and flawed in a narratively compelling way. However it was quite goofy sometimes and has its moments where I was raising my eyebrows at it because it was like "wow, saw that from a mile away".
This book is definitely those supernatural romance books from the 2010s but for grown adults.

Post from the See You at the Finish Line forum
I picked up this novel on a whim and it sat on my library books pile so long I had to renew the loan TWICE. But, finally I am reading it and I have to say that I am enjoying it so far!
I think in a world of hockey romances, having other sports - even if they're very posh sports - is quite refreshing. Even though I do not care about rowing in the SLIGHTEST, I think the author had convinced me so far to root for these two characters in their little agreement. I thought the start was rather strong and when I found out that the author writes screenplays it made a whole lot of sense!!
I hope that the story stays as strong as the first 50 pages has been, I am excited to read it! (Hopefully I don't have to renew the book for a THIRD time).
