Review: No Interest In Love by Cassie Mae

From Goodreads:
When Jace Carver snags a minor part in his buddy’s zombie flick, he suddenly starts getting noticed all over the place. Even Hollywood megastar Carletta Ocean—known for her extensive “research” with her male co-stars—wants Jace for her new rom-com. The role could be a game-changer . . . if Jace nails the audition.

As Jace’s agent, Shaylene Kwak is all business, and isn’t about to let her favorite client blow this opportunity. Since their college years, Shay has been immune to Jace’s charm and rock-hard body. But long hours in close company have a way of wearing down even the best defenses, and when their platonic teasing turns into serious flirting, Jace and Shay are no longer able to resist what’s been right in front of them the entire time.
 
Shay knows Jace’s love-’em-and-leave-’em history with women. She’s not about to be just another notch in his belt. And it’s true, Jace has never wanted more than a one-night stand—until now. But at the end of the line, he’s got a choice: sleep with Carletta and seal the deal, or risk his career for a shot at true love with Shay.

My Thoughts:
I love Cassie Mae's books, so I was so excited to get my hands on this one. I wanted so much to love this book because Mae's writing is always funny, and sharp, and her characters have strong voices. But I really struggled with this book.
Jace is an incredibly difficult character to like, and since the book is in his point of view, he really started to irritate me quickly. Shay is equally difficult to like, and I struggled to root for them to get together. They just had too much contention and not enough romantic tension.
But I pushed through, hoping the character arc paid off. The problem was, the book takes place primarily on their journey, and it rapidly became monotonous.
I'm still a fan of Mae's works, and still consider her my go-to for happy, feel good reads, but this one just didn't work out for me.
