》Short Review《

I loved this book.

Loved it.

The entire story was wonderfully written, fantastically paced, and gorgeously led by two beautiful leads, Andreas and Phoebe.

I admit, I did lean a bit away from the non-romance plot, it didn’t quite capture me. But the romance more than enough made up for that. The romance sold the entire book to me.

The romance was sublime, it was a perfect slow burn. The tension is present from the start and increases page by page, line by line, word by word, until it explodes in a flurry of beautiful romance. I was so enamored by our leads.

I was especially taken by Andreas POV. I love dual povs, but I always tend to favor female ones. This is the first time I massively favored the male’s. Don’t get me wrong: I 100% loved Phoebe’s POV. But she was so delightfully open and expressive, that I could read her well even before we entered her thoughts. But Andreas is the most exquisite enigma and being in his tortured, angst-riddled thoughts was delicious He was as hard as a stone but we knew from his POV he was going through it. Boy, was he going through it. He owned this book entirely, and he and Phoebe owned my heart with this perfect slow burn romance. 4.5✨
