Still a really good read..… But some things were more jarring when rereading the story.


➖ What I disliked :

➖ The heroines insecurities …her personality revolves around those insecurities…and it took over too much of the story. (Even if some of her issues are somewhat understandable with her past…. It was just too much and over the top.)

➖ The way the heroine talked about the other females/women like they were all better/prettier than her.
(Kind of felt both like she was a teenager or/and like she had a sort of inferiority complex.)

➖ The miscommunication was a little bit over the top and also some of the misunderstandings…. (the language barrier etc. that both main characters should/could have factored in or thought about more.)

➖ Some parts were a little bit rushed and the story should have been a little bit longer with a little more depth.


➕ What I liked :


➕ A big plus for the heroine being tall/statuesque.👏
➕ Tall/statuesque representation 👍
➕ Some funny moments.
➕ Sweet/nice and patient hero.
➕ Rather good banter.
➕ Good chemistry.
➕ Interesting main characters.
➕ A heroine that is physically strong/sturdy enough to carry and help the hero when he is injured/unconscious and also help fight off predators etc. (A interesting and “innovative” idea/concept/ outside the box thinking.)
