I usually foam at the mouth for second chance trope but this book, not so much. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the story and it was a good read.

I loved it!! Somehow I love Dominic but some part of me just can't forgive him... But I love his character development and I am so happy because we had quite a few scenes with characters from the other books (Jules&Josh,Vivian&Dante,Kai&Isabella) and I love that they have babies and I need more baby scenes I need to see more of Josephine/Josie♡♡♡ And the dark element with Roman. It was so good I think I fell in love with Roman♡♡♡

“I don’t have the money to buy you all the flowers you deserve yet. So I made them instead.”

This series has been a blast so far. Not one has disappointed me but this one was an instant five stars for me. I never thought I'd love a marriage in trouble storyline but apparently, I do. This one for some reason made me feel a lot of emotions. When Alessandra had that breakdown and told Dominic that she wants a divorce because Dom hasn't been caring her for the past years, I felt that. If we take people for granted, it just hurts more once they're gone. Also, please boys, never forget an anniversary. It's just that one date that you have to remember, nothing more.

Then there was the past and present timeline which I just loved. It showed how Dom was head over heels in love with Ale. So it was pretty understandable where Dom was coming from, although, what he did to Ale is not justifiable. I just can't ignore how Dom really just straight out traded his work to win out Ale. That's really how we knew that he knew he messed up big time. He really showed Ale that he wants him back and he's willing to do everything within his power to win her back. And that's literally what he did. I just can't get over that. Maybe because I'm semi-relating with Ale and that's why this book just hit differently but I just love their relationship. I'm glad things worked out. I'm sorry for Dom's brother but damn he also did sacrifice for Dom.

I'm also super glad to have caught up with the series just in time for King of Sloth! Also, can we just take a moment to thank Ana for Jules and Josh' cameo? Thank you, Ana, for bringing back my favorite Twisted couple!

My summary: On the cusp of their ten year wedding anniversary, Dominic and Alessandra Davenport seem to have it all. The ambitious and gorgeous billionaire Dominic is the so-called King of Wall Street. The stunning and smart Alessandra has her wealthy husband, penthouse, and has started a thriving business of her own. Once college sweethearts, Alessandra now, however, feels like Dominic is married more to his work than to her. Tired of feeling neglected and unwanted, Alessandra leaves, but Dominic is devastated and determined to do anything to win her back.

My thoughts:

I read this book in December 2023. I really enjoyed it and, overall, found it to be really sweet. Then I saw some audio snippets that Ana Huang posted from the audiobook and I just had

to listen to it.

When I read the book, Alessandra's melancholy and Dominic's desperation punched me right in the feels. Ana Huang does a fantastic job of making you empathize with both Alessandra and Dominic throughout the story. My heart broke for both of them.

Listening to it, though, was quite a different experience and I’m overall pretty fascinated by just how different it was for me. The audiobook made me feel like Alessandra was the selfish one and I felt terribly for Dominic. It came across that he was so hardworking for *their* future and she was just whiny and left him anyway and then rebuffed all his attempts at reconciliation.

I struggled a bit with the narrators in this one. I think the way Alessandra’s character came across so differently in the audiobook is due to the female narrator’s intonation throughout it. I get that Alessandra’s character is quite melancholy through the entirety of the book, but she was just SO depressed sounding that listening to her was rough—especially since her portion is roughly half of the eight and a half hour audiobook.

This has the same male narrator, Teddy Hamilton, as Rosie Danan’s The Roommate that I just listened to recently (as well as apparently a TON of other audiobooks). He comes across as, I don’t know, a little too California-surfer sounding to me to be a great fit as Dominic’s character. He’s not my favorite but he is definitely better than average for male narrators, so I did enjoy his narration.

Also, Chapter 18 = still solid gold.

Whether the book or audiobook, this is an overall good message for those of us that have to work a lot to remember that your job is your job but it’s important to put your marriage first.

And even though, like Dominic, you may feel like you're one bad decision at work away from losing it all, it's more important to put family first.
