I’ve loved you since the second you walked into my life, and I’ll love you every second after, until I have no more to love you with. i know this is an incredibly negative review, and you do not know me as a person but i have been reading my entire life and i have never read another book that equals this level of bad.

Overall, I did liked the plot premise and the overall set up This book definitely had me more intrigued than the last. She didn’t expect her new boss to be the hot, British stranger she hooked up with the night before her interview, or for him to be so brazen with his desires. Now, despite her disdain for the dirty politician, she’s entwined their lives so tight that escaping seems unlikely. This is teased a little through out the book and before we fully knew everything it was already taking away from the feelings Alastair had/was growing for Cora in my opinion.Now, that's okay since it's not marketed as such, however, I did have high hopes for the end of this series given how strong the first 2 books were. I’m eleven, secretly learning to pick up on social cues and lip-reading because the hearing loss in my right ear is becoming noticeable. Cora get hit in the hid, gets unconscious and had blunt force trauma and the next chapter she doesn’t acknowledge being attack? She wasn’t even really looking for a job, but having an in with the mayor of the island where her brother went missing seemed like a good idea.

So listen… I know I might have said that Elena and Kal were my favorite couple written by sav but CORA AND ALISTAIR? I appreciate it when authors correctly market their books, so we need to take a moment for Miller here. Although I don’t recommend this book, I definitely recommend the series and the previous three books because THEM BITCHES ATE🤤. By using the Web site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the Terms and Conditions. Which is really disappointing, because I would have really would have enjoyed the book if I didn’t get lost as much.

The fact it took me 2 weeks to finish this book should speak volumes because I usually devour Sav’s books in like 2/3 days🤧. Alastair was much more then I was expecting from the glimpses we got in the previous book about his brother. His PI hates her guts, and he tries to make life miserable for her, but she doesn’t confide in Alastair despite him showing over and over that he won’t put up with bullshit where she’s concerned.

There was just some scenes, Especially with Alistair, where the information wasn’t thoroughly conveyed. Anywho, keeping it pushing, they part and think they’ll never see each other until a day or two later, I kid you not, she shows up to interview for an assistants position he has open… love that don’t we?

this has been what i have wanted and needed in romance books and i love that i am getting it from one of my favorite authors. There was times where it felt like she was just playing that edgy girl that “isn’t like other girls.

Tropes within this book are dark romance, forced proximity, age gap romance, workplace romance, enemies to lovers, enemies with benefits, cat and mouse game, alpha male, breeding kink, possessive male character, etc. This man was unhinged for this woman, there would be moments of him just thinking odd things such as: “𝘐 𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘩 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘬 𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘯 𝘮𝘺 𝘳𝘪𝘣 𝘤𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘧𝘧 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦, 𝘴𝘰 𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘬𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘢𝘧𝘦 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥. Ugh she was such a strong fmc that literally frustrated and amazed me with how hard headed she could be sometimes. Breeding kink (no children thank the lord), Age Gap, Corrupt Hero, Pierced Pi Pi and EVERYTHING I NEVER KNEW I NEEDE.

banter between the main leads is my favorite part of any love story, and the banter between cora and alistair had me thriving. This book is said to be inspired by Apollo and Daphne, but I didn't see any resemblance to the mythology anywhere.
