I didn't realize this was Ben Black's story at first and I'm so glad it was! I loved Braden and Skye's books so I was excited to dive into this one—and it did not disappoint! This was Helen's classic mix of dark, swoony romance and I read the whole book in one sitting. I think the way she handled both Skye and Ben's past traumas was really well done. I also loved the way these characters were introduced. This book certainly wasn't light and fluffy, but it was still a great love story. I liked the tropical setting, I liked the growth and development, and I liked that it was wrapped up in a standalone. This book was a quick read, but definitely on the heavier side. Helen is a favorite of mine and I enjoyed reading this one. Thank you to Entangled publishing for providing me with an e-ARC to read and review!
