While it wasn’t my favourite book of this series I did enjoy it. The tropes were used well and the characters do go through a commendable amount of growth. However, I do think the plot is weaker than King of Wrath.
If you’re looking for something easy and enjoyable to listen to, I recommend the audiobook.

The pacing of the book was a bit irritating, when you thought there would be progress made by one of the two main characters, there would be some kind of setback and that seemed a bit excessive at times. However, this was my first time reading a second chance romance so maybe that is just how they are paced. Overall , it was a nice romance.

I took too long to review this and now I forgot what I thought about this book, other than that I liked it and it was probably my favorite so far, but that I'm in no rush to get to the next one.

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 had a feeling going into the book it would be my least favorite, I was right. There wasn’t enough on their background information, and the character of Alessandra was really bad. I didn’t like her at all for the fact that she didn’t have a spine nor did she have any self respect or confidence. Overall, wish I would have went without reading.
