I did not like Tom’s attitude in the beginning whatsoever. The fact that he even thought about being with other women after getting married immediately turned me off lol. Also the name Tom, sir with a name like that you shouldn’t be acting the way you were acting. I was definitely going to DNF it but then decided to keep reading because he hadn’t cheated yet. This book seemed to be more smut than it was plot (not that I minded that one bit) the smut was so good but again I just couldn’t connect with Tom. I did like the way he protected Aurora and the jealousy he displayed whenever a man got too close to her. The writing itself was great, as far as recommending the book, I would recommend it simply because I feel like others wouldn’t have a problem connecting with Tom, it’s just a me thing that caused me to reduce the rating.

This is an Advanced Reader copy. Although this book was given to me as an ARC my thoughts are my own.
