Clearly caught off guard, Ryot is not accepting of this and wants to do whatever possible to bring them back together. The only thing that could convince me to finish this book is if I found out there’s a Part 2 where we find out Ryot kicks Myla’s butt to the curb and finds someone that appreciates him. A relationship on the brink of death is always a hard read, but she really put me through some stuff with this one. He asks for 3 weeks for them to stay together and act like a couple of their friends and wedding and then they can go their separate ways, even though that’s the furthest th

You have convinced yourself that you are the victim in your life when in reality, you’re the monster. Banner was a little bit of an enigma with his aloofness and after this abrupt teaser of an ending, I sure hope that MQ isn’t gonna leave us hanging and will give us the Banner and Kenzie romance that they (AND WE! Overall, the topics mentioned in this book were pretty heavy but the plot was also steamy and entertaining, however I did not like it more than A Not So Meet Cute set in the same universe tbh. I think this story only could've worked laid out this way - I know that I would've had some issues with the way Myla and Ryot's relationship progressed in the past, and Myla is also the kind of heroine whose insecurities threaten to overwhelm any story. And despite the uphill climb her childhood was, she has prevailed, and I will be damned if I ever see you near her again.This is on the medium burn side (first smeex scene at 52% in the past and 74% in the present) but I still found their chemistry to be palpable. There was just SO MUCH hurt there but it definitely made it more satisfying when the end rolled around. I'm not sure that I'd recommend this as a workday listen, unless you enjoy crying at your desk and blushing at some VERY intense spice, lol. I was admittedly a little nervous reading a marriage-in-crisis romance because it’s not my favourite trope and I don’t usually gravitate towards them but I shouldn’t have doubted my enjoyment because it’s MQ and she wouldn’t do us dirty. It wasn't until I received a Kindle for Christmas one year that my world completely flipped upside down.

He was blindsided when Myla asked for a divorce, and he's willing to put in the work to make things right again. It’s clear Myla still carries a lot of trauma from her past and while I didn’t always understand at first why she was so quickly giving up on the marriage, I did come to understand her perspective. The whole book is designed for maximum devastation, slowly building back into something that is hopeful and richer because of the struggle.It was quite an emotionally charged and angst-filled ride, especially when you see how good they are together and how much hurt and pain both experience in the present. We get to see how they met 12 years before (a flag as a blanket= 👏🏻genius) and what’s currently happening. She was looking for books and found the Contemporary Romance genre and was sold and she has not turned back since. With the story switching between past and present, we didn't have to linger in that headspace for too long at any one time. I love happy ever after stories, but this one was the first one that I was wishing that they didn’t end up together.

I currently reside in beautiful Colorado Springs where the sun is always shining and there is a trail waiting to be hiked on every corner. Long story longer, I loved this and if you’re a fan of the divorce trope then you should def give this a read!

Fans enjoy all the drama, the hot times, and some irrational and sweet times, with some devastation. Have you been curious to know if Knox, Carson, Jason, Cory, Maddox, Lincoln, Holt, or Walker is your true match?
