Broken Dove by Kristen Ashley
4.0

My least favorite of the series but still great

Nothing triggers my resentment as much as comparisons to the MMC's ex, dear or alive. It's too close to my personal experience for me to easily brush it off.

How the heck did I still like this book?

Idk. I was rooting for Ilsa to get her happy ever after. The abuse she went through from her ex made her skittish and vulnerable but she still tried to be strong. She got my heart because of that.

Apollo was an asshat for the most part but I'm glad he came to his senses. They got pretty hot and heavy early (arguably hotter than the other books).

I loved the attention from the guys (as a whychoose girlie) when they were traveling after Apollo left her to them. She totally deserved that and she was sorely needing the friendship they freely gave her. Although one of the guys falling for her and giving a love triangle angle was a bit cruel. This book should have been at least an MFM romance.
