Review!! Free of spoilers!
This book was so close to being five stars. I started using the CAWPILE rating system, to better rate books I read. This book scored a 8.9, so close to a 9 that would have met the 5 star requirement. I absolutely loved this book and the relationships the main character had. January Andrews (the main character) has a best friend named Shadi and personally it reminded me so much of me and my best friend. The slow burn in this book was done incredible well and kept me wanting more. I also enjoyed the lessons that were displayed throughout this book.
Tropes - enemies to lovers, slow burn
Triggers - cheating, divorce, satanic cults

This was so fun to read! The romance was set up really nicely and the plot was mostly believable/relatable (up until the very last few pages haha). I thought the discussion of the main character’s parents was a little bit much for me, but I surprisingly liked how the story of January’s dad wrapped up. Regardless, this was an ideal romance novel for me, grumpy male love interest included.
