4.0
Let me start by saying that I binged this book and just could not put it down. It took me a bit to adapt to the author’s writing since I picked this up immediately after finishing my previous read, but once I adapted, I could not put this book down.
The thought of marrying someone you love and their kids absolutely despising you and tormenting your entire life is frightening but Callie fought tooth and nail until the very last second - a martyr of sorts.
I didn’t love the plot point of Rhys (although I loved the spelling of that name!!!), but the more the story unfolded, the more it began to make sense. I thought I had this figured out so many times but I was wrong every time.
While I did feel that some time was spent going in circles and repeating a lot of information, it wasn’t too much to the point where it took away from my enjoyment in reading. However, I do feel there was plenty of things that could have been taken out without affecting the overall plot.
Ultimately, this book was steady paced, always left you with questions you desperately needed answers to, and was extremely well written. I’m looking forward to reading more of this author’s work in the future.
