The book's length and the slowest burn of all time made this book painfully slow and unnecessarily long.
We desperately needed Aiden's POV. His character is super stoic most of the time so we have no idea what he's really thinking. I had a hard time liking Aiden because his behavior in the first few chapters was appealing. He was a straight up asshole and never really redeemed himself. In the two years Vanessa worked for him he never said "good morning" to her or said "thank you". Come on! that is 100% entitled asshole behavior. His parents can only be blamed so much because he lived with his loving grandparents for years and had Leslie as a mentor/coach. Plus he has friends that he's had for years so at the end of the day he was only acting that way towards Vanessa. I think I had a hard time liking him because this felt like when people are rude to servers. Vanessa was his employee so he couldn't show common decency to her. No thank you.
Also, without Aiden's POV there was a lack of sexual/emotional chemistry between Vanessa and Aiden.
I liked the last 20% of the book, but I think that's mostly because Aiden and Vanessa were actually talking to each other. This book needed more action before the last couple of chapters. I'm not asking for there to be purely smut but one sex scene at the very end and a reveal of their feelings for each other at the 95% mark is just not all that satisfying to me.
