I was really looking forward to this release by the author of my favorite 2024 romance read, Lovelight Farm. The dialogue had a witty vibe and the sexual tension in that tiny recording room was 10/10. But the slow burn aspect felt forced and had my least favorite motivation - flimsy internal conflict. There was absolutely no real reason why they couldn't be together, yet the entire book he ruins everything by being the "I'm just not made for love!" type. There were so many different external reasons that could've felt more real for slow burn purposes! What if the radio show owner had forbidden him from getting involved because they needed her out date to keep up the ratings? I would have immediately been less annoyed and more invested.
