That was heartwarmingly good 🥹🫶🏻🥰
I indeed took my time reading this one because tbh the pacing was slow and after 20% something it was kinda dragging. I loved it when Titus still holed up in his room and was silently observing Mariah. But for me, after he finally had face-to-face interactions with Mariah, the story was kinda losing the grips. Mariah was apparently love-starved due to her pasts and Titus was also scarred by his own. I think that's why they were so difficult to talk about their feelings. I was so frustrated, especially around 75% or something, because of these two. They were already into each other but they didn't talk. Especially Mariah, gah! While Titus was not that far different from Mariah in terms of healthy communication, he was actually almost perfect. He was such a softy only for Mariah. I was kinda skeptical with how the author would handle Titus past trauma(s) but it(they) had been solved without drama.
Aside from the slow pacing and lack of communication between Titus and Mariah, I enjoyed this book. I especially can't wait to read other books in this series because while Titus and Mariah got their HEA, the mystery (?) plots haven't being solved yet and I believe it would carried out until the last book of this series. I also can't wait to see if I guess the upcoming couple right or not. Not the second book's couple because it's already obvious who they would be.
Thank you to Janice Whiteaker and Hambright PR for the ARC.
