Appears to have some mixed reviews, but rather enjoyed this one. It is a bit darker as HR romances go, bit gritty. Neither of the MC's were perfect, though I would argue the MMC was far more stubborn and had the power to do something about his issues, where as the FMC was trapped with few tools at her disposal. So a lot hung on his choice to do anything about it. That being said, the love story felt pretty natural and the end felt believable. Not overly sappy or cheesy. I really enjoyed that neither of these two were perfect.  
Kate Reading also did a fantastic job as a narrator, and save a few issue with the audio quality it self. 
I did find the side romance of Vere's brother a bit of a distraction, and maybe less time could have been spent on it.

This book captivated me. I couldn't put the book down. Thomas ripped my heart out at one point but then gently put it back together for a lovely, well deserved HEA. There's a mystery/spy element to the book (which I normally don't care for) but it never (rarely) detracted from the romance. Please note the content warnings though. Not as dark as other popular romance writers but the book does have some moments.
