Aiden and Elsa’s relationship grows with Elsa’s determination to remember her past and not be a pawn in Aiden and his father’s game.
Which I would have enjoyed more if, yet again, Kent moved out of their pernicious and oppressive need to protect readers from the realities of Elsa’s inability to trust & Aiden’s inability to not be a dick. Alas, Kent remains steadfast in their inexplicable need to reiterate that this is a bully romance, and surprise! There are bullies in the story! Consequently, the characters appear very two dimensional and seem stuck in this repetitive holding pattern for 200+ pages. Only within the last couple of characters do we see a progression within the plot.

okay this was slightly better than the first one only because we finally got some answers to elsa's mysterious past. but it was annoying that the entire book was spent between the characters having sex just to get some tidbits of info right after they fucked. it made the book incredibly repetitive, and it didn't help that elsa was still a doormat heroine despite her saying she was gonna 'beat aiden at his own game' -which clearly never happened-, and aiden a piece of trash. i can't care less about this couple i just want the side characters' books pls
