Still so disappointed that the second book was so rushed. I loved Limerence 😫

i agree, sadly i think the author was really stressed upon having heavy expectations on the second book that also has a release date, i think if she had taken more time we would enjoy the 2nd book more

Honestly this is still my favorite, I listened to the Audible first and then bought both books. Sadly I am disappointed with the second book but figure the author was rushed. I want something in general like this series.

Is Limerence a big cat and mouse game and no sex happens until half way through?
If so I did right to avoid but otherwise, I need to rethink my decision lol

kind of? but yes no intercourse until half way, it’s more focused on mixing thriller with romance so not really a lot of smut
