Oooh this was a good one. I had no idea what to really expecting going into it and it kept surprising me along the way.  Things are quite bleak at the start of the book and it puts the readers through the emotional wringer. This is a sloooow burn (no pun intended) and I love how the first part of the book focuses on some joy and the romance developing. Then WHAM revelations and secrets and things heat up (okay I can't help myself sorry) and it gets so dramatic to make your head spin. I love love loved the ending and this book had a serious hook in me!

Note: I alternated between the audiobook and print copy and it was so easy to do with the great audiobook narrators.

Thank to the publisher for a free copy and a free audiobook; my thoughts and review are my own.
