Loved the slow burn and banter between Dom and Ally. The way he took care of her was heartwarming. Dom is an acts of service guy. I also liked the snippets of the friend’s side stories. I will say the epilogue is not worth reading. Could have do without it.

It’s a cute lighthearted read that’s probably 100 pages too long. But I loved the chemistry between these two. Who doesn’t want a billionaire falling all over themselves for you? It was a relaxing read. A good amount of smut but they make you wait for it. Too slow of a burn for me but I’m quite impatient these days as well.

SPOILERS AHEAD

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED






I under stand why everyone is is upset that the characters are “acting childish” or like saying that they hope they don’t act like them at 40 and I do get it but I will over look ANY red flag in a book if i enjoyed it

(reread) im keeping the star off even though i definitely would make this a 5 star is because I hate a cheating trope. No no one cheated but he thought she did and it’s annoying. Well maybe he didn’t actually think she did and he was being a dick but still you get the point. The cheating trope is annoying and anyone who likes it should stub they’re pinky toe 2 times a day 7 days a week.

dwinn5's review against another edition

emotional funny tense medium-paced

I have to say, I was pretty disappointed by this book. It was hard for me to like Dominic right from the beginning (I can’t stand people who are rude to servers) and it basically never got better. I felt bad for him and I understood his trauma, but he never learned the lesson that every other character was literally screaming at him the entire book: you can’t use your trauma as an excuse to treat other people terribly.

He’s manipulative and controlling even when he’s supposed to be winning her back and he never listens to her. She spends the whole book telling him that she doesn’t want his money and it’s very clear that she wants emotional support, so what does he do? Throws money at every problem (despite her explicitly telling him not to), ices her out at every chance he gets, and makes decisions for her like some kind of patronizing a-hole.

I like Ally and I genuinely think she deserves better, I basically wasn’t rooting for them at all by the end.
