Having the first entire 50% of the book as back story is honestly wild, in my opinion. While at the start I felt like it had great potential to be a 4 or 5 star it quickly just gave me this ick at times. Roman Riviera gave me golden retriever vibes, and I just don't see how that is supposed to make him dark enough for a dark romance. I felt that every disagreement was summed up far too quickly, and maybe that's because of how much back story we got. It did end up feeling like a chore to push through, but I have read far worse.
