"I KNOW there was such a compelling story there but good god he literally took his act so far that he left her in the company of her uncle that he knew scared her and the uncle proceeded to BEAT HER UP. She then got punched later in the book. I hate violence towards heroines like this. The uncle also ruined the life of her aunt and it made me sick.

There was so much potential but it was ultimately a book that started off SO FUN but was really such a downer. Why did he wait so fucking long to explain his act to her?? We barely got to see them be a couple when both of them were being honest about who they were. ROBBED. Even the sex scene after all the revelations was fade to black so we didn’t get that chemistry !!

Also His at Night??? There were not many nights!! Is it bc he was “himself� at night? Bc I needed MORE. He wasn’t even really himself those times he veered more into jerk territory.

It was so cruel to keep Freddie in the dark like that too!! On that note, the secondary romance ATE the main one for breakfast.

I’m also just thinking about how he played that charade for 13 years and then it was all undone so easily?? It just seemed so goddamn pointless to not be honest with his brother and Ellisand once they were married. That would’ve made the book drastically different.

The beginning and his grand gesture account for the two stars. The rest was so disappointing 😩"
