I remembered why I don’t read JS - the writing is really really bad. I mean it absolutely fits the hot water trash level that I expected, but the only thing I was in it for was the romance for the long suffering FMC - and that sex scene was unreadable it was so bad.

After he talks to her like an idiot, and goes through her luggage and finds her vibe. I know it’s played for laughs but it just wasn’t funny to me. Yeah I’ll have to pass. ...more
