Safety Stats
Theresa
Virgin - yes

Alessandro
Playboy - no
Spoiler Not much is ever actually said about Alessandro's past history. Just based on the fact that he's a hot Italian millionaire, he probably was a playboy at some point.

Sex scene with OW - no
Cheating - no
Spoiler Theresa believes that he must have cheated on her at some point during their marriage, based on tabloid photographs of him with other women, and his seemingly ongoing relationship with his ex-fiancee who lives in Italy. He never actually cheated. From my understanding, he only ever kissed his ex platonically, "like one of his sisters".

OW drama - yes
Spoiler Alessandro's ex-fiancee is a conflict in their relationship, however, she's only ever spoken about and she and Theresa never meet or have a confrontation.


Overall, Safe.

I recently started reading books with groveling but this has been my least favorite. Usually if I read groveling they need to grovel for like half the book. If I was the female MC I would not have forgiven him after what he had done to her in the first 1 1/2 of marriage. He did show her he cared but I’m the type of person that is too little, too late.

Finally, enough grovel :))
If anything, it was too much at the end, but I really liked their relationship.  I found how the heroine's weight was referred to  a little annoying, but it wasn't a large focus.
The whole pregnancy and child thing didn't even detract from it, which it usually would've done.

This book hurts so good. The grovel was top tier like he grovels for at least 70% of the book. Although I didn't find the characters loveable but they're still bearable i guess.
