Even If It Hurts by Sam Mariano

This book did nothing for me. I can love a dark romance. However, I have to be able to see why the heroine can look past all of the hero’s faults and darkness and why they work as a couple. I have to believe that they truly have a HEA. I never once believed that the hero truly cared for the heroine nor did I believe that the heroine was ever going to be truly happy with the hero. The hero crossed lines that I cannot forgive and did not revive any repercussions for his actions throughout the novel.
