I picked this book up because I seemed to be in a bit of a romance kick and I knew that this whole series is available on Kindle Unlimited at the moment so easy to binge. I had heard that this book is the weakest in the series and many people seem to suggest just skipping this book altogether so I went in with low expectations. I was pleasantly surprised by this book for the most part as it is a relatively standard romance with the melodrama just a step above normal. For the vast majority of the book, I was really vibing with it and I didn't even mind the third act breakup as it didn't feel overly manufactured and wasn't grounded in miscommunication.

Alex and Ava definitely could have hammered things out with a conversation but that also didn't match their characters, especially as they were both carrying a lot of childhood trauma.

What I didn't enjoy about this book was the third act when the characters were in London. This portion was just the wrong length; it either needed to be shorter and just be an extended epilogue or it needed to be more fleshed-out and show us

the steps that Alex took to win Ava back. Their return to being a couple did not feel earned as we didn't see their journey.

It is wholly possible that we see portions of this period of time in other characters' books but as a self-contained story, the resolution felt rushed and somewhat meh.

Despite the weak ending, I mostly enjoyed this book and am looking forward to continuing the series.

Favourite quote:

She felt like heaven to my hell, the closest I'd ever get to salvation, and yet I still wanted to drag her into the depths of Hades with me.

This was an alright read, I was entertained but there was just a little bit too much going on that was unbelievable in it. There was so many tropes and twists that it just kind of felt unrealistic and while I love a possessive man in literature (red flags in real life) Alex was a bit much at times… he was verging on truly being a stalker/emotionally abusive/possessive. Kind of turned me off him a little.

What I expected from this type of book, but overall not a bad experience.

It was definitely over dramatic and predictable, with a lot of the male love interest’s actions being questionable, but it wasn’t aweful. I’ve definitely seen worse.

An overall fun read. Very easy to finish and doesn’t require a lot of brain power.

I think I will read the next book (just because it’s a bodyguard romance lol) but I think that’s it for me after that since the other two stories don’t seem that interesting to me.
