Oaths and Omissions (Monsters & Muses, #3)
Sav R. Miller
From USA Today bestselling author Sav R. Miller comes a dark fake dating romance inspired by the Helen of Troy and Trojan War myths. Lenny Primrose has lived her entire life as her rich father’s puppet. Now, at twenty-three, she’s no longer interested in playing his games. Unfortunately, the only way to avoid being married off to one of her father’s business partners is to involve the man he fears most: the British assassin who almost killed him. Jonas Wolfe would be content to never be in the same room as a Primrose ever again. His days are filled with contracted murder and running his pub; anything to keep him from sitting around thinking about his one failed mission. But when Lenny commits a rash crime, Jonas steps in to help, and extracting himself from her family becomes impossible. Especially when she bats her pretty green eyes, proposing a fake relationship that she vows will benefit them both. Interested in improving his public image, Jonas agrees, and they learn quickly that they’re incredibly compatible in the physical sense. As the two grow closer and bond over their common enemy, Lenny still remains distant and closed-off. Turns out she’s keeping a horrible secret… one that threatens to tear them apart. ****Oaths and Omissions is a full-length, standalone, dark contemporary romance inspired by the Helen of Troy myth. It is NOT fantasy or a literal retelling. Check the author's website for a list of content warnings. Reader discretion is advised.

0 0The fake dating trope is always so amusing. This book was so entertaining to read. I don't think I've read one like this for Helene of Troy so this was fun to see.
Jonas is pretty much the exact person I thought he would be when getting Kal's point of view of him in the first book. While there seem to be moments when he kids, he spends a lot of time just being angry. Being with Lenny seems to give him more reason to be angry after he finds out what happened to her less than a year ago. But he's also softening at the same time.
Lenny was a bit to get used to. I understand how she was taught to live a certain way and her anxiety only seemed to grow more as she aged, especially after the incident with her ex. But she also grew stronger as well until she was able to really handle Jonas and his mannerisms.
The next book will be following Jonas's brother Alistair and his obsession with Cora, who, according to this book, is related to person who broke Alistair's heart. So that should be fun to dive into.
