This story was just not for me. It fell flat and I could only find the surface emotions with the character's romance, nothing deeper. It was very much a story of insta-love with Jake and Aubrey. The characters, plot, and world-building were one dimensional and I never felt swept away. Though I DID finish the book, it did not hold up to my expectations. I did enjoy the humor and plentiful one-liners however. If you're looking for a light romance with minimal conflict, you may want to give Battlescars a try. Unfortunately, the author's writing style and character building made it a story that I couldn't connect with.
