I devoured this book in 1 day.
1 DAY!! to even I woke up at around 5 am and started this book when I was done it wasn't even noon yet??
WTF his was soo good and exactly what I was in the mood for. I was in the mood for some angst hurt/comfort type story. Having the heroine go through so much during her marriage because she loved a man who didn't show her love and now she has had enough and is standing up for herself.
ELITE
And the grovelling the guy has to do???
IMMACULATE
I went into this book for the scenes where she sets him straight with how he treated and her lemme tell you I was so satisfied with the fuck you speeches she delivered. Like UUUGH scratched my brain in the right way!!!
Love it 10/10 I hated the MMC at first but he quickly redeemed himself. Like always she should've made him suffer a little more but I guess this is satisfactory.

Two and a half stars.
Theresa is married to her insta-crush Alessandro De Lucci. Unfortunately, Sandro seems to hate her and all he wants is a son. Every time they make love he refuses to kiss her and once they are done all he says is "Give me a son, Theresa ...". Theresa has finally had enough and demands a divorce, which is when Sandro lets her know that their marriage was a business arrangement/ blackmail between her father and Sandro, and until she gives him a son there can be no divorce.
Despite his cruelty Theresa is spineless enough to still be in love with Sandro, his every touch turns her to quivering mush, but for her own mental well-being she demands a divorce. The two of them have an uneasy truce, living in the same house but sleeping in separate beds.
I'm sorry but how ludicrous is that plotline? And how spineless is Theresa to stay in a marriage, and have sex, with a man who hasn't kissed her in 18 months, in fact EVER. She hasn't met his friends or his family and he has been photographed escorting a series of beautiful women to dinners and other events.
Frankly I just wanted to give Theresa a good slap and shake Sandro. Apparently Theresa is a truth-diviner because she constantly told Sandro he was lying - I'd have left her to stew in her own self-righteousness! Sandro on the other hand seemed to do so many about turns that I'm surprised he didn't get whiplash, and he could have resolved all of their issues very simply by just USING HIS WORDS!
Overall, I found the heroine to be a whiney cry-baby and the hero to be unconvincing.

The grovelling in this book was enough to make me feel like I was dying. As someone who loves a second chance romance, the angst in this book was so undeniable it was so overwhelming in the best way possible. Though the book was fun and entertaining to read, there was a few elements I wanted more of, such as more insight about Sandro's "fame" as a business mogul and overall just more scenes of them interacting as a couple in a public setting. Theresa and Sandro's chemistry is something i'll never forget
