Becoming Selfish | By Liz Tomforde Epub Pdf Fixed

The Character Arc (Presley): Liz Tomforde excels at writing characters who feel real. Presley’s journey isn't just about finding a man; it's about finding self-worth. The "selfishness" in the title isn't about being mean; it's about setting boundaries. Watching Presley realize that she deserves to be taken care of (rather than always being the caretaker) was deeply satisfying.
Hayes as the Book Boyfriend: Hayes is the perfect grump. He isn't mean for the sake of it; he is protective and scarred. His devotion to his daughter, Bailey, makes him incredibly attractive. The way he slowly falls for Presley—starting with annoyance and turning into admiration—is classic slow-burn gold.
The "Found Family" Dynamic: A hallmark of the Windy City series is the friend group. Seeing the cameos from previous couples (Zoey and Dallas, Miller and Juno, etc.) adds a layer of comfort for returning readers. The dynamic between Hayes and his daughter is heartwarming and adds high stakes to the romance.
The Steam Factor: Tomforde writes tension beautifully. Because Hayes is stoic and Presley is sunshine, the clash of personalities makes the intimate scenes feel earned and much hotter.
