Boston Irresistible Billionaires #5
Jack Kincaid & Wren Fritz
I tried really hard to love this book, since it was written by J. Saman and I usually love her books. There are brilliant parts, where her excellent writing shines and I was riveted. Part of my problem is the enemies to lovers trope, where Wren was especially vitriolic towards Jack. I saw Jack, sometimes taking her insults as humorous, answering as a sarcastic jerk, and other times her insults hit home and hurt him.
I felt for Jack because he feels he’s jinxed, all the important things he wanted in his life were taken away: his football career lost over an accident, also losing his career as a surgeon; then his fiancee, the woman he was planning to marry, cheated on him with his boss, took his apartment and his dog. This caused Jack to be very closed off with high protective walls around his heart.
Likewise with Wren, who suffered horrible trauma in her past, so she keeps a distance from physical contact. However, Jack was never hurtful and Wren knew to feel safe in his company. Their strong attraction just sparked defensive stunts on each one. I saw some of her scenes as immature tantrums.
Once the enemies to lovers was resolved, as expected, and they moved on to the lovers part, we are treated to humongous sex scenes, and I felt like the plot lost to them. It felt like there was a way-too-long sex scene every two pages, so there was a lot of skimming pages for me. I resent so many scenes because I feel it steals from the romance and emotional parts of the story. Towards the end, I got my full dose of angst and love, so all ended well. There was just a lot of skimmed pages.
