While definitely over the top and soap-opera-esque this was an enjoyable read. Sometimes I struggle to enjoy reading second chance romance because of the angst but this one did a great job of staying on the line of angst and hope. I actually really liked that the couple was shown trying to put in the work of trying to overcome hurt feelings and lost trust rather than just having one event/revelation fix everything. While I’m wouldn’t say I’m super excited to read Lexington and Raya’s story I definitely will, and I can’t WAIT to read Sierra and Xavier’s!

I really struggled with if I wanted to rate this book a 4 or 3.5 because the second half/part 2 of this book wasn’t my favorite at all. I honestly believe it should’ve been 100-200 pages shorter to prevent it from feeling as though the plot & push/pull effect wasn’t soo drawn out. HOWEVER, Zane’s character in part 1 of this book was sooo good. He was literally down bad for Celeste & promised to give her whatever she wanted & he was just obsessed with her (I think his behavior towards Celeste is why it mad me soo angry that Celeste instantly felt like Zane had betrayed her because girl how I know your man better than you?). I also felt like him having trust issues & being hurt by Celeste in part 2 was very real. The foundation of their relationship was damaged & his thoughts & feelings about what occurred was very realistic. I think Zane is my favorite windsor & Celeste is easily my least favorite Windsor significant other.
