But what happens when the truth about their past finally unravels, and both he and Stacey learn what really happened the night that tore them apart?

I truly to do enjoy the plot of this book. The characters are fun as well. I don't mind romance books that don't have spice in every chapter. This was a nice amount

I love when there is a slow burn romance but plot heavy. Characters were fun. No one frustrated me. Would love more of this story. The ending felt like it came out of no where. I don't know 🤷🏾‍♀️

The writing and the atmospheric vibes were very nice in this book. Very Crimson Peak. Sadly the storyline was very mid to me. The MCs were also mid. Yes I could relate to the FMC (PTSD, SA survivor), however I felt myself getting really annoyed with her. The MMC wasn't all that interesting to me. I wanted to like it a lot but this is definitely a one and done book. However it does have one of my favorite quotes ever.

"Everyone changes their mind sometimes as they should or else they're just I don't know stubborn and ignorant. Moving water is healthy: stagnant water is sickly. Tainted'
