3.0

Ava and Alex both have some CPTSD and it adds to the very DARK romance they find with each other. I am not a fan of possessive/borderline abusive behavior so Alex was definitely a turn off. He is possessive, manipulating and gas lights Ava which is something Ava has struggled with her whole life from her dad.

2.0

Characters: 1.0

Plot: 3.0

Theme: 2.0

Cover: 4.0 

It was hard for me to buy into the romance, this story helped me realize I do not enjoy the grumpy sunshine trope. Especially when the grumpy is so extreme that it’s basically abusive. Every time Alex said sunshine I wanted throw the book away. I didn’t care for their relationship. The only character I found remotely interesting was the uncle. The plot twists didn’t really add value to the story for me. The epilogue has me intrigued for the next book but I don’t actually want to invest in this series.

I definitely enjoyed the plot. But I’ve realized I’m not super into the guy who is an asshole to everyone except the one girl. Maybe I’m getting old 🤣. But I can appreciate the smut and the unfolding of some big twists. It was fascinating to me, but maybe a little too close to 50 shades for me.
