I'm not quite sure what to make of this book. The subject matter makes for uncomfortable reading, but I'm sure that's the point. However at times I felt it was overdone. Alexis is a big girl, we get it, but it started to grate on me that it was repeatedly mentioned. Linc says it's not an issue, which I agree for him it isn't, but it just keeps coming up.
Also, I feel like this story is half formed. We dive straight in, with no real intro into who Linc is or anything, so I felt like I never really knew him. Or Alexis for that matter.
And the ending just didn't make sense to me and I'm not crazy on the cliffhanger.
Overall, I'm not taken with this book. I wanted to, I think this subject matter needs to be written about more, but I just don't think it was done well. 📖📖📖

He expected her to recognize him.
He expected her to be seduced by his charms.
He expected her to fall for him.
Expectations are a funny thing …
When his parents named him Herbert Lincoln James, they already had expectations that Linc would attend an ivy league university and go into politics. Linc didn't. As captain of his swim team, he was expected to win the big relay to carry his swim team to the state championship for the first time in decades. Linc didn’t. Society expected him to walk past her. He couldn’t.
She expected him to see through her.
She expected him to make her into a joke.
She expected him to be cruel.
Expectations are a funny thing …
Alexandria Sure is from Michigan and adores her supportive family, her two rescue pups, and her mighty Spartans. Her coffee obsession leads her to writing in local coffee shops where characters come alive between salted caramel lattes and large cups of "cold brew extra cream two Splenda," which are usually on the counter when she walks in because the baristas know her car. (Thanks, Biggby!)
When she is not writing, she spends a great deal of her time perfecting her craft. She is an active member of Capital City Writers Association and attends several writing conferences each year.
Sure's first novel, Before Him Comes Me, is an unconventional romance of self-discovery, described by readers as "the first BDSM book with no sex."
