Some spoilers included:


Wanted to love it. Enjoyed parts of it but overall I was left a little angry and couldn’t see how this could ever be a HEA.

Trigger warning - there is SA in this book. It’s two scenes. One with full, penetrative sex during an argument where the fmc is talking about divorcing the mmc. It’s glossed over with an orgasm or two but that doesn’t change what it was. The second is where the fmc is sleeping and the mmc performs oral sex on her and ejaculates over her. It’s not discussed so one can only assume the fmc was fully unaware of what happened to her.
There’s cheating. Not everyone will agree with my opinion about the cheating but for me, what happens between the mmc & his assistant was physical cheating and what happened between the fmc & her ex was emotional cheating.

I love a good dark romance but this was too toxic for me.
Both main characters are frustrating, immature and really bad for each other. What they have doesn’t scream soul mates, it screams desperation to hold on to the past because they are too scared to move on.

I won’t be reading the rest of this series.
