I think I'm just not make out for cute contemporary romances any more. If there isn't angst, I'm bored. And this book made me so bored! I did like how they met at an estate where they're both at a point in their lives where they have no idea what to do next. He can't play hockey because of concussions and she's cut from a show she loved (she's an actress). So they meet. And they hang out. He bakes. And that's it. It was cute the first few times that the hero made baked goods for the heroine, especially when she didn't even know it was him, but that can only be entertaining and cute for so long. Sure they had good chemistry, but then the hero made a really frustrating decision at the end and didn't think about anyone but himself. After his experience with a family member and spending time at this estate, it was frustrating how he would try to do something that would hurt not only him but the ones he loves too. I listened to this one on audio and it dragged by and I just wanted to be done because I wasn't engaged with either one of the characters. The audiobook was 11 hours long and not a whole lot actually happened in that time...
