This book is darker than the usual CM novels. 

I was so disappointed, I was so looking forward to meeting Zane, because of the easter eggs we had seen before, he is an incredible character... but this book GOD!!!! My problem with this book is that love is not enough to sustain a relationship.
The book felt weird, like each chapter was a scene created by different people and then they came together to create the book. The time jump without explaining anything that happened did not let us feel the supposed "despair" that Celeste felt and therefore did not allow us to empathize with her and her situation. The same for Zane, we could only see that he felt hurt and since we only saw how well he treated her, we will always take his side. The time skip was executed very poorly.
Celeste said that she couldn't live without Zane and that he was the love of her life... girl please! you don't trust him, you don't communicate openly with him... clearly that's not it baby! Zane, no one can ever make me hate you… but this book didn't do you justice in the slightest. It was funny to see the grovel's version from the FMC's pov. Personally, I didn't feel any empathy for Celeste... you owed Zane more! You didn't suffer enough to get his love back.
It's a shame, I love you Zane, but this book... my least favorite Windsor.

EPIC.

I absolutely love this book. So many twists and turns and I love how they were transparent about making a relationship work in the end of the book. Celeste and Zane are my favorite Windsor couple now!

OMG!!! They just get better and better!!! I love them so much their story was just so perfect. The struggle that they go through. The angst in this book was EVERYTHING. I have loved every single one of the Windsors couple but I think I have a new favorite. There was miscommunication and don't like that in books but Cat just knows how to take my heart break it and then put it back together.

I loved how he took her to his private island to work on their relationship and I just didn't want this book to end it had every one of my favorite tropes billionaire romance, friends to lovers, enemies to lovers, second chance, groveling, arranged marriage, angst and a lot of spice.
