Good Until the Ending

 Slow Burn Cowboy by Maisey Yates

This was great until the end, then it pissed me off. I can take a leave a friends to lovers; I don't love it but I don't hate it. We have Lane and Finn. Best friends. They both have issues and deep hurt. Then, Lane calls Finn for help with something stupid and Finn yells at her and kisses her. There's a lot of that. Yelling and kissing. Then kissing and yelling. And to change things up there is also kissing and running away. Then, they decide to try a friends with benefits arrangement. Lane opens up about her issues first. Then she expects Finn to do the same, except he doesn't. All of his half brothers are now living with him after their grandfather died and gave them all equal shares in the ranch and his oldest brother gives him a heart to heart talking to. Finn opens up to him a bit and has a revelation which leads him to apologizing to Lane and proposing in the middle of this apology. And that's what pissed me off. Like, you ended things with her and now you are immediately proposing. And she said yes. Does nobody have any self-respect in this town? This is the second book in this series where the apology tour has included a proposal, which was immediately accepted. Things were going so well until the apology proposal! I was really enjoying this book, like yes we are back on track after a crappy previous book, and then that ending happened.
