Caroline's Review
⭐⭐⭐
"I thought if I finally was able to get into her pants, it would solve all my problems, but it seems to have made things worse."
Cole has a dog-walking business which he enjoys, especially as he also seems to have a little something on the side with some of the female owners. He's definitely a walking, talking manwhore. I thought he was cocky, forward and opportunistic. Some people would call him charming but he didn't really do it for me.
"I don't need a complication like falling love with a womanizer like Cole, not now or ever."
Addison is trying to break away from her controlling father and her cheating ex-fiance. The last thing she needs is a smooth-talking player like Cole. She can't stand his cocky ways but she can't help being attracted to him.
This story was just OK for me. I didn’t really feel an affinity for either of the main characters. They got on my nerves. Cole went from manwhore to wanting something deeper without any real progression. I needed to see more development between the characters. I found their antics somewhat annoying and exhausting.
