Product Information

Also, there was a lot more...filler than her books usually have. A LOT more downtime where not all that much was happening. A LOT of things that felt repetitious. on top of that, we come to find out that the reason alex crash landed in gracie’s front yard was because... I made it two weeks before I started craving cheetos and i only wanted to eat them with you around” There is always a hint of immaturity in this author's heroines, but the fact that the word "butthole" was said SO many times throughout this story was ridiculous.

And just so you know, the start of the book was a bit slow and cringey but it gets better as it goes on I just liked it. I loved the whole super hero dynamic (which I won't say more about so I don't spoil anything. But I will say this: Team Grandma.) I love MZ's brand of enigmatic male grump. I mean, she even had it directly in the title this time. I also just enjoy having to work for everything in an MZ book. That doesn't always work for me, but it just does with MZ for whatever. Unfortunately, I couldn't get into it, in about 40% of the book, I really thought it would be a dnf for me. I had to take 4 days off of this book, which is not normal for me because I usually read MZ books in 1-2 days max. I couldn't dnf Marian Zapata's book ( i love her too much ), so I gave her a chance, and after about 50% in the book it finally started to get a little bit more interesting. If the whole book had been like the last 20%, I probably would have given it 3 stars, but that obviously didn't happen.

If you like a Slowburn Romance, Grumpy/Sassy, amazing banter and a little bit of spice then I highly recommend you read this book!!’ I must admit I wasn’t fan of her inner monologues, and I tried to overlook them for more than half of the book because they were getting on my nerves from being a tad repetitive sometimes(there’s only so many times you can tell me how hot and perfect he is without being annoying, even if he is a super hero with superior genes, sorry), and although the slowburn was slow to start ( very slow, believe me) and we usually see glimpses of their romance before in her other books, I was kind of ready for it so it wasn’t a big deal.

Which perhaps was a blessing as I went into this expecting it to be...less than a favorite MZ read. yes, they did have some cute moments like them having a snowball fight and sledding, but it felt more like 2 best friends fooling around rather than 2 people falling in love. I liked the book, I enjoyed reading it and as always, MZ’s writing style worked for me. But it wasn’t only the plot that was new, I found the slowburn relationship started too late and by the time they reach the end it wasn’t burning as it always happens with her books, and I felt the world she created wasn’t complete and the plot, apart from the romance wasn’t fully developed.Mariana Zapata can write no wrong, this story might just be my favourite of hers yet and I absolutely adore everything she has written!’⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ reader review
