My opinion might be the least common or the least desirable but my criticisms about the book seem to be extremely outlier-ish.
Just a Bit Bossy will forever be my favorite. I loved the banter and comedy above everything else. It's a book I re-read several times a year. For this reason alone I was incredibly excited to read this book but it fell a bit short.
First, I was on board with how everyone could feel intimidated by this man. He really didn't give psychotic vibes but it didn't mean they weren't there. I was on board with even thinking he wasn't psychotic but had to do questionable things in order to survive. You learn the reasons why. For Pete's sake he's a mafia boss... is anything out of the realm of possibility.
What wasn't plausible was Jordan not feeling an ounce of scared while around the mafia and the mafia boss. What wasn't plausible was Jordan speaking up and making a room full of people he just met, speak to him in English because he feels it is disrespectful to speak in their native tongue in their native land. LIKE WTF. AND they did! That was bullshit. Please don't go to another country and force yourself on people. People do not have to speak YOUR language in THEIR country. It was cringe and a turn-off.
Jordan just felt way more privileged and entitled than I thought should be afforded to him.
I do think the kidnapping should have been an opportunity to get much closer and although the two did get closer it still felt incomplete when they were out of the situation. It didn't feel like it was enough to get to where they were in the story.
I'm now reading book 14 in the series and Jordan's brother is giving this overly important vibe as well. It's one thing to be confident and believe in yourself but it's another to think you are the universes' gift to humanity.
The graphics are always beautiful and on point. The story has moved forward but drops at a huge cliffhanger. I'm glad that a strong alliance has been formed between the youth that I foresee will be the new leaders of this world. They each represent the three factions that are currently at war. I do wish I had Vol 4 readily available.
This series continues to frustrate me.
Dude does the absolute minimum. I mean close to zero and she's falling over him and reassuring him and doing everything to be present in his life. She's the high schooler... he's the grown asf man that doesn't seem to really be the leader everyone else tries to portray him to be.
Then you have another grown asf man giving her everything. Absolutely everything she needs in the form of support and encouragement and she refuses to see the good in front of her.
I like the best friend. She's more mature and than almost all of the adults in the series.
I've come this far... I will see it through.
This was really good. Interestingly enough, I felt that Cruz and Kinsey were fleshed out even though they we spent more time with Trent. Trent didn't feel as consistent to me as they did. He is also a much more complicated character that needed more time to explore. I liked the pacing and definitely wanted to stay in this world longer.

My new favorite series. Slice of Life.
He's beautiful and the young ladies are doing a bit too much all the time. This causes him to be standoffish and be suspicious of every encounter that has to do with a girl. It's actually sad because he doesn't get to live peacefully.
He gets a part-time job at a restaurant and the boss' daughter starts to win his trust little by little. It starts off rocky but when she makes it clear she doesn't want anything to with him, he starts let his guard down enough to get to know her.
It's too cute. I love it.
