There was a lot that I loved about this book. The banter was great, I love a sad man, and for the most part I really liked Jessica. There are two things that are keeping me from rating it amongst my all time favorite HRs and it’s how annoyingly not-like-other-girls Jessica was and how I didn’t really feel like she had much of an arc. Like yes, she learned to love Dain, but compared to his major character development Jessica’s was very minor. Both MCs also spoke pretty poorly about almost every other women mentioned throughout, which was off-putting. That said, I’m definitely interested in reading more from Loretta Chase.

i was not very invested in this book. i like their banter a lot and i like the FMC. i don’t like the toxicity of the MMC, i know it’s part of his character growth but i’ve dealt w too many people who act in similarly emotionally immature ways

What an absolute delight. This book was so entertaining. It kept me captivated from the very beginning until the end. I adored the characters, especially Jess z she is so smart, passionate and feisty. I love the way she manages people. Their love story was hard fought but beautiful
