why not more stars? it's all jake's fault. he made some really questionable and unhinged choices that didn't sit right with me, especially when it came to his handling of conor's ptsd. 3 stars purely bc it was written well

This was my first Pam Godwin book and it definitely won't be my last. I won't lie, this one was definitely different from the books I typically read, the characters definite have some morally grey attributes that I wasn't sure about, but I loved the way Pam handled such heavy subject matter. I appreciate that the characters were true to themselves and didn't shy away from their wants and needs. I loved the way Jake wanted to help Conor and that helping her was always his focus. And I love that he never saw her as broken or irrevocably changed from her experiences. I'm genuinely curious about the rest of this series and Pam's other work.
I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys the following, but would highly encourage everyone to look into trigger/content warnings.
✔️ Friends to Lovers
✔️ Second Chance
✔️ Dark Romance
✔️ Western
✔️ Small Town
✔️ First Person Dual POV
❕️ Trigger/Content Warnings: Rape, Abuse, Violence
4 🌶
