What Was Meant To Be

Product Information

First, a bit of critique. The forbidden nature of Jacob and Whitney’s relationship coupled with Whitney being engaged are the main conflicts, but somehow the stakes still didn’t feel high enough to me until much later in the book. Or the way they dealt with it, especially Whitney when she could have resolved something rather easily but she made it worse? And then both of them having zero self control with so much at stake? I sound contradictory but when the poop does hit the fan, it feels like waiting 5 minutes to jump each others’ bones would’ve resolved everything. Okay I get it, easier said than done and they could not keep their hands off each other after a separation, but idk something made it feel off, narratively or pacing wise that I’m clearly not smart enough to put into words so it might just have been me. I seen a reel on IG and i won’t lie, it was an intriguing snippet of what instantly had me thinking of a steamy scene and i was all in … Whitney and JP’s story was filled with erotic ness, steam, passion and fire and there was little time i wasn’t burning up,or melting. I’ve never loved anyone or anything the way I love you, baby. Ever. I’ve loved you from the second I knew you’d exist.” He cups my face and lowers me to press his lips to mine. “And I’ve never stopped loving you since. The love has changed and morphed into different kinds of love but you’ve always been here from the second you entered the world.”

What Was Meant To Be - Kindle edition by Tyler, Q.B

Anyway, speaking of Jacob and Whitney, I didn’t even care about a lot of the aforementioned things because y’all, the chili is immaculately spicy. They can’t stay away because they have the chemistry of sodium kept in open air, as in they can’t be in the same room without catching immediate flames and it was 🥵 I had my issues with Whitney, and with Jacob, but a man who loves making trips downtown and is an enthusiastic peggy (it’s a word now deal with it) and is the very definition of stern brunch daddy? No wonder he triggers Whit’s daddy plink just by existing! Thank you Daddy J, I mean Jacob. And she has a great family too (sorry that was a joke I do not believe in that stereotype we can all have daddy issues okay!) There’s just something so…exciting about reading a forbidden romance, they make me feel alive. Okay too dramatic maybe, and maybe I’m just a ho. It’s fine, I accept that. Main thing, I love forbidden romance, and few do it like Ms QB. Cherry on top, this one is the parents’ best friend age gap trope, and I eat that shiz up! And second chance? She’s already engaged?! Wuuut! I need it all. I went in completely blind had no idea what to expect other than it being an age gap and I was not disappointed. Jacob and Whitney weren’t strangers to each other. They had a story that was known just to them and at some point to three other people who were close to them. Do not use that tone with her. I let you do that bullshit choking move but you and I both know I let that happen. Do not push me.”So don’t hand me that drunk mistake bullshit because I could have been so drunk I didn’t remember my own name, but I damn sure always knew yours.” I never agreed to play fair. Another man asked you to marry him. As far as I’m concerned, he declared war on me first. And you know what they say about love and war.” This book was sitting in my kindle way too long. Dad’s best friend - ok, “Daddy” kink not so much but spice… OMG 🥵💦🔥🥵💦🔥
