And this is where the series starts to get confusing because I lost track of which characters are which and who they're with. Aka: none of them were original and individual enough to remember anything about. They kind of blended into one..mmc paste.
And I read these books back to back, in order. So, conceivably, they should have had enough personality to remain their own distinct characters as I moved through the books.
There's also not a lot of build up to a love confession/relationship in any of these stories despite the author having doubled or tripled the chapter count after book 1. Every single couple is insta-love and immediately gets over whatever issues they have that, in the first third of the book, were reasons they couldn't be together.
Look, I get it, it's fiction. We read it to feel good and escape for a moment (or enjoy the smut). But there is no emotional payoff when every bit of challenge and friction is handwaved away so they can f*ck happily ever after.
