"You’ve got me believing in forever, after all.”
All the feels with this one.. and gut wrenching!
Elena Rousseau never wanted to walk into that club. She never anticipated running into the one person that she never saw again after a brief encounter on a night out and now he was standing in the way of something she ultimately had no choice over.
Alexander Kennedy was searching for that mystery woman from the bar, who captivated him and leaving him wanting more. What he didn't expect was to see that same woman standing outside a gentleman's club and realizing it was his brothers best friend.
I have never read anything from this author before and I dove into this book blind just like I do with all other new authors, I should've maybe peeked a bit cause the emotions were TOP NOTCH!
Elena & Alexander were an ember just waiting to grow into a full blown inferno but ultimately it was almost put out when things come to light and truths are revealed, painful and very hurtful truths.
“I’ve spent my entire life loving people that didn’t love me back. I won’t do it again. I won’t. Not even for you.”
My heart was broken into tiny slithers all throughout this book..
Elena's mom..
Elena's fathers treatment of her..
Alexanders treatment of her..
All of Elena's emotions were like a punch to the gut and resonated deeply. If you have never experienced the pain that Elena goes through at those points in the book it is hard to grasp how much it hurts to have those words flung at you so carelessly and them not care of the after effect, it's a hurt that embeds itself deep within. The saying "I'll forgive but I won't forget" that comes to mind everytime.
"You stole my heart day by day, and I didn’t even realize it. I didn’t realize that you fucking own me."
THE VOWS!!
I cannot, those two words are all that need to be said..when you get to this part after everything else you will get it. Whether it's with a dry eye or while the tears dry this part is everything.
I am for sure going to dive into more of this authors books, the next question is do I do blind or do I go in after reading the blurb?

Gostei bastante dos livros dos Windsor mas este... socorro....
Quase que dei DNF mas tentei até ao último momento e li tudo...
Trope Casamento forçado
A FMC é inútil, sabe-se que estudou numa universidade da Ivy Leage mas de nada lhe serve porque trabalhava onde ganhava mal e agora nem sequer trabalha. Existe para ser casada com o MMC e sofrer pela mãe em coma.
Cansativo o MMC dominador, a repetir constantemente que pagou por ela, que é dono dela, que dá ordens e não pede nada, possessivo e ciumento.
Este cenário do dominador possessivo efetivamente já cansa, especialmente quando a FMC é uma tonta sem personalidade.
Metade da história em "só te quero pelo teu corpo, não me serves para mais nada" e "és só minha/meu e que estou tão confus@ com os meus sentimentos". Não achei que a história estava bem desenvolvida, pareceu sempre aos "solavancos"..
A autora quis meter num livro só todas as tropes que se lembrou: casamento arranjado, falta de comunicação, sexo sem amor, bilionário e rapariga pobre e indefesa, madrasta e meia irmã más, ...

“Alec, I would never do that to you. I know you don’t believe in forever, but that’s what I promised you the day I agreed to marry you. I’m your wife, forever. You will always be the only one for me.”
Elena is in a pickle! 8yrs ago her mother was in an "accident" that has left her in a "coma", the bills are piling up and her trust fund is completely exhausted. There's nothing she wouldn't do for her mother so when a wayward nurse suggests she goes to a gentlemen's club, seeing no other way out, she puts her big girl panties on and does what needs to be done. Only once she's there she comes face to face with her childhood friends, one of whom she still has a massive crush on. Upon seeing Elena in such an establishment Alec (childhood crush) sees red and immediately feels possessive over her, hes always been protective of her even when they were younger, thinking of all the disgusting males who frequent this joint and what they'd have her do to them.
Elena has a choice before her: stay and service these creeps by selling herself along with her dignity and self respect or marry Alec!!
Pearls were clutched, feet were kicked, grins and just pure shookethness were part of this concoction.

The whole plot with the ex was unncessary , it gave ugly love situation minus the tragic past
Pinning over his ex still loving her for more than half the book then He only decided he loves the fmc back after he realized his ex girlfriend moved on . Yucks
And of course we love our doormat fmc who takes him back
