I. Loved. This. This was one of those "hammer it in 24 hours" type of books. 

Historically, marriage in trouble wasn't frequently worked for me. Second chance, yes. Which seems opposing opinion wise, but I am a fickle creature 🤷‍♀️ 

However, marriage in trouble where the problematic partner develops ACTUAL self awareness and takes full responsibility of their partner in the trouble? We stan a self aware King. Even though it took a divorce to actually realise they're the one with the problem 😒 

I know people had beef with him signing the divorce papers instead of fighting to get her back first, but I think they're missing the significance of him signing them. He signed them FOR HER. Because he knew that's what she wanted, and what she needed from him in that moment. Sacrifice. 

The pining. Ohhhhhh the pining. Mutual, yes. But Alessandra had Dom in knots over her and I loved it. The idiot deserved it after neglecting her, although I do seriously empathise with his reasoning, I refuse to believe anyone would miss all the red flags 😫 

You should read this if you love a grovel, you love strong assertive FMCs, and you appreciate a strong redemption arc.

Entertaining read!! 

However I think Dom had a lot more to learn in this book and didn’t grovel as much as he should’ve. Glad things worked out of course but I think he was let off pretty easy in my opinion.

I usually foam at the mouth for second chance trope but this book, not so much. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the story and it was a good read.

I loved it!! Somehow I love Dominic but some part of me just can't forgive him... But I love his character development and I am so happy because we had quite a few scenes with characters from the other books (Jules&Josh,Vivian&Dante,Kai&Isabella) and I love that they have babies and I need more baby scenes I need to see more of Josephine/Josie♡♡♡ And the dark element with Roman. It was so good I think I fell in love with Roman♡♡♡

Another good installment in the Kings of Sin series. I thought this second chance romance was done well. I do wish there was a little more groveling. Also if a girl says she needs some space she needs SPACE. This book did pull on the heart strings. 

I thought the flashbacks to their relationship over the years was done well. The moments weren't long where you got bored but snippets to get to the point.

I was so excited for this couple's story based on the few teasing lines in the previous entry in the series, but that all went to hell with this book. I get why flashbacks may be necessary in a second chance romance, but there were so many at the beginning of this book that I lost interest precisely the moment I should've been invested. This book really cooled my interest in the series. I'm not particularly interested in any of the characters except

Dominic's brother, Roman

and another wedding guest whose name I can't remember.
