Collins. My guy needs to calm down and read the room. Mother dear and Father dear, how on earth does there relationship work? What does their love for each other even look like??? 
No spoilers for the relationships but my guess is that you are starting to read this after watching the movie. There are a few differences to be refreshing but we all know how it ends.

Can't go wrong with Aggie. If you like sherlock Holmes but want a more social element, read this and many other books she has produced.

It's dark but not as dark as Haunting Adeline. Honestly, the plot mixed with the dark enemies to lovers trope was really well done. I recommend this to some one dipping their toes into dark romance.
