Ok, so what was supposed to be a "sweet and clean romance" (according to another reviewer) was definitely not. Oh bother. *facepalms*

Foul Language: We get this first thing out of the gates. Shi**ing, sh*t, a*s, cra*, cr*ptastic, cr*ppy,
I had a really bad feeling when I saw the language in the very first chapter, so I started search skimming because who wants to spend time reading something if it's potentially got major content issues? Yep, it was a real beaut.
Sexual Content: there's so many uses of sexy, sex adorable (ridiculous) , that I could just puke. Leo hopes that he could have a holiday fling with Andie, and he gets his wish. Some way to celebrate your so-called faith.
So much uncalled-for spice/smut.
At 54% there's a very detailed open door scene. It all goes downhill from there. *retches* I was not expecting that, and I really didn’t want to "see" that. The problem with smut like this in a book is that it's addictive and damaging to the reader, and creates unrealistic expectations in real world relationships.
Not to mention that the act itself should be between a husband and wife only, not for the whole world to see or read. It's designed by God to be special and binding in marriage, not just a random sinful fling, shack or stand with any random person.
I'm seriously disappointed and disgusted with how this book turned out. I'd never read anything by this writer before, and I definitely won't again.
I do not recommend this book due to the negative, indecent and downright icky content that I did not at all expect when I requested this book. I tried out a read from a new-to-me writer, and I got burned.
