Interesting Start

I have a harder time with why choose books that take place in contemporary versus fantasy books, because oftentimes the scenarios required to make it work just seem to out there for me. I felt like this book kind of strayed into that territory. The whole basis of the book is that Josephine accidentally sees something she honestly does not really even understand and the four guys solution is basically to kidnap her and make her live with them in their home. There was a bit of suspension of disbelief required for me in this book.
That being said there were some things I did enjoy in this book. I felt like the men in this book were interesting and different from one another. They weren’t just cut out of hot football players that have the same personalities and ideals. Personally, for me, I really preferred Kylian because he was the nerdy guy, and that just works for me. He also has some sensory sensitivities and because of that and his coping mechanisms he has the ability to connect more with Jo than any of the other guys given her backstory.
Josephine as a character is okay for me, I’m interested to see how she evolves. She has a complex/tragic backstory which I think will play into things a lot more in the next books to come. I do think she goes along with the scenario waaaayyyy to quickly and almost passively, which I have a hard time buying into.
Overall, I want to see where the next book goes, given it does end with high stakes and a cliffhanger.
