3.0

I just couldn’t get into this one. Plot was pretty non-existent, characters weren’t interesting or relatable (to me, I know, but I have read poor/autistic/immigrant characters that are interesting and appealing, these weren’t it). The attraction didn’t make sense - it seemed to just be lust by proximity - Kai fell for her because she invaded his space and he had to deal with it. She fell for him because he was a big hunky American man she was living with. Moving on to book 3 in this series with hope because Kiss Quotient was my first 5 star book this year.
