ARC received via Netgalley for an honest review

This was my first jackie Ashenden book, so I haven't read the first in this series, but that didn't take away from this book.

I wanted to love this book, I really did. But for me the male lead just took a lot of that love away.

I get he feels wronged. I get he has the right to be pissed. But the way he treats the woman he says he loves, the friends that stood by him. Ugh, he was a complete douchenugget. He needed to build a bridge and get over it a bit!

I am not going to lie, I was going to give up on this book at about 50% through, but I don't like quitting so I kept going.

Levi did get better - slightly - towards the end, and those stalker tendencies did tone down. I think for me though it was a bit too little too late.

Now Rachel, I flipped and flopped with her. I could understand her actions for the most part, doing what he asked, but other times I just wanted her to walk away until he stopped his mantrums.

But this might all just be me. Yes, I did have my issues with this book, but for the most part I did like the storyline, it was more the characters that irked me.

I am interested in going back and reading the first book though.
