I received an ARC of this book, so my review is based solely on that. There were a lot of editing/grammar issues. Most, if not all, of the mistakes were very obvious ones that should have been caught in editing. The author did say it wasn't edited, but it seems like it should have been or at least should have been gone over by the author more. These might be fixed later, but when I read the book, there were a lot. It's too distracting.
This book could have been good. There are unique ways to do the "secret baby" trope and this was not it. Way too much blame was put on Karma. Way too much. And it just seemed to be accepted by everyone that what she did was just horrible. She was 18 and he was way older and he knew she thought he cheated and he did not go after her immediately. He was grown and had tons of experience in life in multiple ways, so he should have known better.
I absolutely hate Cobra's brothers, and since they'll probably get books, I have absolutely no desire to continue with the series. I will because I generally like this author's books and I have been pleasantly surprised in the past and gone on to like books in a series when I didn't like a previous one.
About this book specifically, it's a second chance book. I don't really like those because more often than not, the characters have been with others since. That was the case in the book. They both have been, him more than her. He's been super promiscuous, and I never like that in characters. I don't see why that's necessary. I think it's actually pretty gross. I like romance books and like when the main characters are together but if they're with a ton of other people first or after, it doesn't mean anything or as much when they're with their HEA person.
This author uses the word "slurp" too much. It's annoying to me and makes the characters run together, like every H is the same and every h is the same. It's not realistic, and it's very weird.
I almost gave this 1 star, but it wasn't awful the whole time, so I gave it 2 stars. I was disappointed in the book and felt like there were too many loose ends and things not tied up or not tied up correctly. Maybe I'm being harsh, but I really just don't think it was very good.
