The book wasn't bad by any means, I think it was just...a lot. The first half of the book was pretty slow to allow the couple to get together (which was fine) but that only left the other half to tie up the loose ends of Alex's family/Ava's dad which seemed a bit rushed to me. There were three separate plot lines I could see with Ava's trama, the relationship, and Alex's family. On paper, that makes sense, but the book spent way too long on two plot lines without fully developing the last one making the third act seem a bit quick. I wanted more tension with the uncle and more interactions with him in general for him to become such a prominent character in the third act. I didn't buy Alex and the uncle's relationship because we didn't spend time with them until the book needed to tie up the loose ends of Alex's story. Overall, it was an enjoyable read. Despite everything I've said about the third act I could not put this book down! The twists and turns kept me hooked the whole time despite it seeming fast. If you enjoy twists (even with their flaws) then you'll love this book!

I was absolutely captivated and read the book in one sitting. Yet I have to say I didn’t really like the way things moved towards the ending.
It wasn’t extraordinarily good but I had a great time reading it and couldn’t put it down so without rating it objectively I can say in my opinion it’s a good book with lots of ups and downs so you definitely won’t get bored

What can I say? I’m a sucker for tall dark and moody guys. The sense of humour adds some lightness that I feel is necessary for this book.
