A review by bookwhimsy2
Tangled Ambition by Sophie Andrews
4.0
A romance novel with abortion as the central theme? Yes, please!
I loved the way that the story handled the abortion story. It was compassionate, realistic, and affirming. The book is worth reading for this alone.
It is also an intense enemies-to-lovers story that made me realize that I don't like true enemies-to-lover stories. I prefer the enemy element to be more lukewarm. Here, Taylor and Dean hate each other. They are competitive at work and cannot stand each other until Dean sees Taylor's vulnerability and decides to be there for her. That opens the door that leads to the romance.
This was one of those books that made me stay up until three in the morning to finish it and is responsible for my looking tired at work :)
Content Warnings: central abortion storyline, power dynamics during sex
