I am rating this as a DARK romance not a sports romance. If you came here for sports romance, please put this back down because this is absolutely a dark romance dressed in a hockey jersey. Now that we have that settled...🌚
This was so well-written, I am in tears 😭 I kid you not, I am clutching at my chest and pounding on the wall! This was JUST the right amount of toxicity, darkness and obsessiveness with dollops of sweet romance to balance it out. 🩷
Is our MMC bonkers level of insane controlling stalker? Yes but excuse you, Lincoln literally improved her life! 😤 She was living in a rundown apartment, constantly harrassed and could barely afford decent food. After he came into her life, she was so much happier and healthier. Am I in denial? Maybe.. but in this economy? Sir, I accept 😍
Our FMC might seem like a damsel-in-distress but after living her whole life being deprived of life's simple pleasures like a comfortable bed, good food and real friends, Monroe was STARVED of affection and I can hardly blame her for it. I would be too, in her shoes! 😔💔 Was it Stockholm Syndrome in the end? Maybe.. but do we care? Again, no! She's happy and healthy, and really, that's all that matters! 🥹
I liked that Lincoln was vulnerable with his emotions with Monroe. Often times with dark romances, the MMC is cold, standoffish and even if he does become emotionally available, usually it's only when the FMC is in danger or attacked. But here, Lincoln opened up about his abusive past and tragic loss first before Monroe opened up about hers. 🥺 Before he went batshit crazy, he was rather patient for a morally dark man and he often followed Monroe's pace and her cues, even if it's to "make her fall in love" with him.
Also, I hate the third act breakup so much that when the story was headed that way, I literally CHEERED when Lincoln refused to let Monroe leave. He literally prevented the third act breakup himself, thank you!!! 🤣🙏
All in all, this was a really great dark romance book that I would happily recommend. Of course, the readers who came for a sports romance are probably shocked by all the red flag things happening - my condolences to you 🤣🫣
