I don’t often read childhood sweethearts type romances but I was so invested in this. Definitely check content warnings though, there were some very dark moments in the story. The only downside to this story is that the rest of the Sinclair family was barely present for any of it which was a bit of a bummer. I’m hoping the next book isn’t like that but I think it might be too.
Graphic: Abortion and Miscarriage
Moderate: Sexual harassment and Sexual assault
While there isn’t technically an abortion the FMC is forced to get an abortion by being forced to drink an herbal mixture, when her parents think she could potentially be pregnant. It’s a very scary time for the FMC and the scene could be triggering for some folks.
