The Hooker and the Hermit

Eeeh...nope. I've read almost everything Reid has written except these collaborations with Cosway, and I'm a big Reid fan, auto-buy for sure. I read this on in the Beach Reads Box Set V collection.
In contrast to other top picks by Reid, this reads like under-edited juvenilia and I shan't seek out any others in the series.
Yuck to the lack of consent modeled in the “Her words say no but her sexy lips say yes and I'll crowd her into an airplane bathroom” kind of relationship they have. Creepy, and: no. I want everyone in this book to go to therapy for a few years and then try again to have healthier relationships with every one (self, siblings, workmates, etc.). “‘Hey, I'll behave on this trip. I promise'” he tells her, knowing that he's lying as he says it, crowding her personal space and crossing boundaries she's set. “For several seconds I was wracked with indecision. I'd told her I'd behave on this trip, but the temptation to follow her was too much.” Uh, no, dude: the temptation is NOT too much. You are just too selfish and immature to respect boundaries. What you should say is, “I know I made a promise to respect her boundaries, but I don't want to be self-controlled and so I'm choosing to put myself first over her.”
