Honestly this was my least favorite of the series so far. I am not a fan of instalove and unplanned pregnancy tropes at all, unfortunately this one had both.
Simone's family was so awful to her and controlled every aspect of her life. When she gets pregnant, she freaks out and fleas to London with her family. Her parents make the "decision" that she is not fit to raise a child and force her to give the baby to her sister.
I felt bad for her, especially when they essentially stole her baby from her, but at the same time I hated that she lied and kept Dante's child a secret from him. He was so in love with her, that he would have done anything for her. He would have forgiven her at any point, and waiting 9 years because she thinks he will "be mad" is despicable.
The sniper plot line was interesting, but the end felt incredibly rushed. I did love the hospital scene at the end though!
Tropes: Second chance, instalove, suprise pregnancy
