John Grisham could NEVER. A Kindle Unlimited *classic*
I’ve read quite a few of Nicole’s duets but this is definitely my favourite so far. It feels like my birthday each time I see that she has a new release. I need more, I need the second book asap. I NEED ANSWERS!!!! I really enjoyed this book, but it ended on a cliffhanger and I just can’t wait. I really like this couple, and I just can’t wait for them to completely fall for each other.
“I don’t know how to be around her without wanting to be closer. I don’t know how to be around her without wanting to fuck her senseless, wanting to make her laugh, wanting to keep her safe. I don’t know how to be around her without falling the fuck apart.”
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

This book and me have a love, hate relationship. While I like the concept of the book and the writing, the execution could've been done without being over 600 pages long.
There was so much of the same thing over and over that it was massively repetitive. Must of the middle of this book could've been summed down to a few chapters of Paige doing whatever she wants and Misha being a robot and a controlfreak. Sprinkle in some unfortunate scenes, they reflect on everything, they both see the error of their ways and then they lived Happily Ever After!
But we don't get that.
We just get the same argument over and over again. The same excuses. The same robot Misha no matter the situation. The same Paige doing whatever she wants despite someone trying to kill her! The same thing over and over until it has been beaten, bled, burned and revived just to do it all over again.
This could have been so much if it had been shorter. And that means something coming from me since I love long books because the pacing is better and I feel like the flow of the story is better. But this was not it.

Paige and Misha meet on a bad day for both of them. Misha has buried his only brother the former Don and Paige is officially homeless and broke. The spend the night together and part. Life goes back to normal until Paige starts her new job as Misha’s assistant. The two agree to leave the past in the past until an accident occurs and it is discovered that Paige is pregnant. Misha is really a tortured character he has suffered lost and been abused so that he has no idea how to let love into his life especially from Paige. Paige had abusive parents, a husband who took all her money and left her broke and homeless but she’s desperate for love. She wants a family she wants to love and be loved by Misha. This book has an abundance of angst. You feel so much for these characters who can’t bridge the gap to each other. This is book #1 of their story and the conclusion is in the second book Champagne Wrath.

my inevitable downfall will be book covers with shirtless/seductive men.

"I’m tired of giving my best to men who don’t deserve it."
This was meh. It's a guilty pleasure, for sure.
Like, it was alright, but it felt like it was missing something.
It's a typical brooding male mafia lead with the damsel in distress, and they can't be together. It's very cliche and predictable, but I still was entertained. There were times when I was annoyed with the characters and the plotline.
The wins definitely come from Paige character, and we see her development and growth.
I love the involvement of side characters, it gives a better understanding of the family dynamic and Misha's personality.
That ending definitely was a cliffhanger.
"No woman looks like that at a man she doesn’t care about. That realization probably scares her as much as it’s scaring me. I want to stop her. I want to tell her to wait. But for what? I’m not sure. So I let her go. For both our sakes."
