Wow, Xander and Zara are a match made in unhinged romance. The premise is that when Xander, a Chief Surgeon at a large hospital who moonlights as an organ trafficker meets Zara a shoe store salesperson whose brother is in need of medical attention, sparks fly and he instantly insists she’s he’s wife. Matters of consent, sense, and agency fly out the window as the two engage in a toxic romance towards their happily every after. This dark romance held my attention in a way but not enough that I’m invested in reading more about the Browns or continuing with the series. I think what’s missing is some more character development and more integration of back stories and supporting characters (Nico and Kelis for example) to make this make a little more sense and to understand the characters and their motivations a little bit more and to make me as a reader care more about them. Also, nothing really happens in this so that even the plot development is a little lacking. It’s just boy meets girl is rabidly in love, gives girl money and 🍆, she’s rabidly in love - the end. I’m not mad that I read this but also most likely won’t be continuing with this series.
