The story had just enough drama and tension to keep me curious, even when I was rolling my eyes at half the dialogue. I was turning pages like it owed me answers.

Itโ€™s a romance, so you kind of know what youโ€™re signing up for. I appreciated that the main female character wasnโ€™t some damsel in distress. She had her own strength, independence, and grit. Even as a people pleaser, she stood her ground and had a mouth on her when tested.

Think of this like a predictable Hallmark movie.. but with tattoos and trauma. Not a favorite, but not a total flop either. If youโ€™re curious, I say library it and vibe.
