It had so much potential, but I just couldn’t get behind the fmc. She was such a doormat that it made it impossible for me to connect with her. I get that this is dark romance, so I expect the mmc to be brutish and emotionally closed off—but there has to be a balance.
I mean, come on. When the man you love tells you, “The novelty you represented is over,” you don’t just open your arms the second he decides to come back. Where was the grovel? What did he even do to prove he had changed? There was no real redemption arc, no satisfying moment where he earned his way back.
It was a frustrating read, and while I wanted to love it, I just couldn’t get past how easily she forgave him. Just nah.
