Absolutely loved it so much. I love Sam so much now I am going to listen to it on audible ❤️
I bought this book before I found out the author was problematic.
If you don’t want a rating based on subjective reasoning, despite everything, take this as your review.
I have read many LJ Shen books and they are all the same. This one was not much different, except it was infuriating how much of a pushover Aisling was, despite her character development. Not to mention how Sam had the emotional maturity of a toddler.

Sam and Aisling's story felt flat for me, they didn't behave or talk like what the storyline, world-building, and character's background needed it to. I enjoyed previous books in the series, The Villain was good, but this one just didn't cut it for me, I love dark romance, I have even read about H being a bully, being a sadist, and even a cheater, I have no triggers so this is not the problem here. I understand that sometimes the h lacks the spine bone but eventually grows and develops but Aisling felt too short from everything. Sam on the other side is supposed to be this character I read about from previous books and when the time for him came it crumbled my expectations, the way he acted, his dialogue is not what I envisioned and looked forward to, this felt more like a high school drama than an older man, it just didn't match. I might have had a bigger expectation from the blurb, but in this case and in my personal opinion I think it just wasn't the book I expected.
I'm gonna say that 3 stars is a stretch .... but I promised not be too hard on this book after having my expectations shattered with the Villain. I am slowly, but surely starting to get why people don't like the new books and frankly also the author. I'll probably read the Rake to be done with the series, but will definitely reconsider picking up an other book of hers. || Revised to 2 stars... such a dissappointment of the year
True LJ Fashion, spicy with a twist
Loved this book and didn’t think I could love LJ shens writing more. Initially I had no interest in Aisling and Sam, but I think their story has to be second favorite to Dean and Rosie. I appreciated that this story had a health care worker and dealt with the grey side of medicine that can never be black and white.

There wil never be another writer quite as good as LJ Shen with the banter between the characters, the sizzling chemistry and the overall toe-curling feel good romance! What I like about the books that this author creates is that her books always leaves you in awe of her writing and how she mixes it up so that you would never be able to say – mmmm I read this storyline before in her other books.

The heart was a monster. That’s why it was locked behind our ribs, in a cage. I’d known this all along, from the moment I was born, but tonight I felt it, too.
