I mean it’s a quick, easy and digestible read but it didn’t hook me in like other books. the lie that Ronan told to get Sasha to stay never gets resolved it’s just forgotten about, him coping with his trauma never gets brought up just that on a random day he decided to change. Its not meant to feel realistic i know that but there’s a lot of points in the book that felt like were thrown in for the sake of creating a plot but never finding a correct resolution to it.

Ronan is one of my favorite men ever, genuinely. This man is so big and bad, but the absolute sweetest there is. His story is heartbreaking and I love him so much.

 I only wish we had seen more closure on his part, more healing. Or at least more details of it, especially from his pov.

 Also Ronans character was so well developed and was genuinely so wonderful, but sadly Sasha’s fell a bit flat.  Don’t get me wrong she was enjoyable, but I wanted more. 

And I felt as though we were missing the “healing” part of Sasha’s story too. She had trauma she should have been working on as well, and we just didn’t rlly see that. 
The ending felt a bit rushed and sadly, again, flat. For 75% of this book I thought I would be a 5/5⭐️ Read and sadly the last 25% just didn’t compare to the rest of the book. 
2.75/5🌶

I did not enjoy this as much as the first book, because it heavily deals with child abuse/trauma (a lot of which is intense psychological, physical, emotional and some moments of sexual as well), sexual abuse (including children), domestic violence, etc. A LOT of this is on page and explicit. The characters are truly both going through A LOT and I’m not a believer in relationships can be salvation, so this book was a little difficult for me. BUT I do see how healthy relationships is something that both characters were SEVERELY lacking and how the introduction of that could change so much for them. That being said, I really loved both characters separately and I enjoyed seeing them being genuinely KIND and patient to/with one another (because they both had little of that in their lives.) I think this is the ONE romance where I would have liked it to be more on page slow burn? Like these people can’t do therapy, but uhhhh something has to give LOL.  

Also, like the consensual sex scenes are all so cold to read? Not intimate at all.
