Trusting You by Daphne Elliot
Rating: ✩✩✩✩✩
A light read with solid contemporary romance tropes. “Grumpy-control-freak meets Hurricane-of-Happiness and hilarity ensues” seems to be a popular basis for contemporaries and I am here for it. This book was far from perfect, but it was several things that I like:
- Realistic-this relationship could actually happen and the conflict makes sense
- Everyone is themselves-no major out-of-character actions to make the HEA happen
- Sexy-The plot is a thinly veiled reason to get these people in bed and that is fine by me.
Looking forward to continuing the series (The Quinn Brothers) and fun and cozy reads between review “work” and
my growing pile of heavy non-fiction.

Some DNFs:
While KU gave me the series above, it also gave me a couple duds via BookTok recommendations. Both of these were returned after one chapter because they hit my “auto-ditch” button of the male protagonists acting like immature dumbasses. Neither internal monologues about your own bad-assery or being unable to have a non-sex related cogent thought make a personality. I get that these “alpha-hole” types do it for some readers…that reader is not me. If you do like this trope the following two books might do well on your TBR list, and to that I say “cheers” and “enjoy!”
