I was not anticipating this one to be as heavy as it was. For the first 50% we get Harper and Luke constantly having sex, I’m honestly not sure how they ended up being in love, lust for sure, but love seemed like a stretch. Then in the next half we learn more about each of their pasts and these two have been through it. Luke needs therapy, that man is obviously not processing his grief. Spoilerish warning: The storyline with Clive seemed unnecessary. Harper losing both parents at a young age and bouncing around through the foster system would have been trauma enough, the child abuse was excessive. I found myself doing a lot of skimming through this one. I would recommend for readers who love lengthy detailed sex scenes and emotional trauma.
