Look, if you enjoyed this book more power to you because for me personally this was not it.
Some of this is my own fault. Somehow in my head I thought this was a historical romance that was going to deal with a mental illness in the MMC in a complex and nuanced way, but it is not. In fact, I'm a bit confused by the title because what was the madness supposed to be? General anger?
But generally I hated the MMC and how he treated the FMC and didn't feel their relationship was really developed emotionally. Plus, this book was extremely forgettable. A couple that shouldn't be together should at least be interesting.
Looking at who the other books in this series are about gives me no faith that this author writes the kind of MMC I can get behind so I will definitely not be continuing.
