Okay, I’ll be honest. This book made me so angry. I read the alchemy series and loved it, and the first book in this new series was excellent. But this book? Absolutely not. The MMC was a literal pig of a man. I couldn’t stand him and the way he thought about and spoke about women was honestly disgusting. Then all of a sudden he has a come to Jesus moment and now he’s a new man? Yeah, I don’t buy it. Not for a second. The only reason it’s not 1 star is because I loved the whole mother-daughter aspect and the storyline for that, otherwise it would be a lot lower. Wouldn’t bother with this one truth be told. Check your trigger warnings and happy reading!
