The Darkest Corner of the Heart by Lisina Coney

2.5

I had high hopes for this as I’m a sucker for forbidden romance but it didn’t really hit. It became very repetitive very quickly and the random dumping of nicknames out of the blue honestly made me gag a couple of times. Maddie’s one bad encounter with someone in her industry and suddenly she doesn’t want the career she’s been whining about not ever being able to get back to for the whole book? Bffr. The conflict of James not making it to one dinner reservation, fml cry me a river. The brother’s reaction at the end made me want to shrivel up, talk about overreaction. Overall, not great.
