Aiden and Elsa’s relationship grows with Elsa’s determination to remember her past and not be a pawn in Aiden and his father’s game.
Which I would have enjoyed more if, yet again, Kent moved out of their pernicious and oppressive need to protect readers from the realities of Elsa’s inability to trust & Aiden’s inability to not be a dick. Alas, Kent remains steadfast in their inexplicable need to reiterate that this is a bully romance, and surprise! There are bullies in the story! Consequently, the characters appear very two dimensional and seem stuck in this repetitive holding pattern for 200+ pages. Only within the last couple of characters do we see a progression within the plot.
