I’d forgotten I read this until I got my hands on my old paperback copy and managed to skim it. It’s very old school Lindsey with the leads suffering from childish sulking and over the top antics. Nonetheless I am quite fond of it as I still remembered parts of this so clearly even after almost 2 decades.

Plus, this has the most awful inner cover picture. The main cover is quite sedate nit the inner flap has a Fabio painting which makes me eye pop in how cheesy bad it is.

There's no words to describe how disappointing this book is.
It has some funny bits, and the premise is good. But both characters are so spoiled, and I have no idea whatsoever how they fell in love...

I wanted to like this so badly I overlooked everything until I couldn’t anymore. 1. Nobody would shut up about how beautiful they both were. Fine. I can get past that. 2. The MMC was actually the most infuriating, sexist, condescending, abusive POS I’ve ever had the misfortune of trying to root for. He actually does the most appalling shit and takes absolutely no accountability for it. He treats the FMC like a literal child at each and every turn. 3. The FMC IS essentially a spoiled child so maybe him treating her like one makes sense? Even so she’s also one of my least favorite characters ever. And the inner arguments? Hard pass. 4. This is the straw that broke the camels back. Their first sex scene. It was rapey and disgusting. I genuinely could not believe what I was reading. Wtf.
