No Escape From War by Cynthia Eden
5.0

I usually don't read a ton of Second Chance romance books since they can be quite angsty, but I really enjoyed No Escape From War.

Rose and War were an amazing couple, and I couldn't help but root for their HEA. They had to bring a serial killer down, and clear up the misunderstanding that drove them apart. This would usually be frustrating to me, but the book started off with them already having broken up, so them winding up together again was lots of fun!

For a killer being on the loose, this book was surprisingly light-hearted, and it gave room for some pretty interesting characters. When Cynthia Eden's heroes fall, they fall hard. I loved that when War found out the reason for their breakup, he didn't waste time and he really worked hard to get Rose back. And while Rose made him work for it at first, I'm glad she didn't keep pushing him away either. It was such a refreshing balance.

I wasn't expecting to love this book, I'm glad I stumbled across it on Bookbub. It was a little short, but I'm glad I gave it a try. On to the next book. :D

SpoilerNo. They've been celibate since they broke up. Was so sweet
