Wow, warning to everyone with religious trauma and/or daddy issues: this book will gut you. I cried. Really great characters, smut, and plot, though. Just brutal. 

Dark Romance, Fake Dating, Emotional, 4 🔥

“The excitement of uncovering this new side of myself at war with the fear that I won’t ever become the good man I sought to be. The terror of losing myself in unlearning the indoctrination I’ve been brainwashed to believe.”

“Why can’t you just be my father? Why did you have children if you never had the desire to love anyone but yourself? Instead of pretending to be a good man… why couldn’t you just fucking be a good man?”

Spice: 3/5

I liked the FMC but I couldn’t get into the MMC. Overall the religion stuff was too much for my taste. I did like the balance between plot and character development though. 

Spoiler alert —







Why in the world would Adam grab her neck after what his dad did to her!?!?

So while I did ultimately come around to caring about Adam (MMC), I never really...started to like him? As a Christian, he was super judgmental and then while it’s framed as him figuring out who he was, I think that he really just shifted to finding his value through Sage (FMC) instead of God/his dad? And it’s fine, this is a romance not actually a book about deconstruction, but the struggle with Adam and his religion was SUCH a huge part of his story that I wish he could’ve come to a conclusion that wasn’t just “All that matters is Sage.” That + him realizing he’s into some kinky stuff being viewed as him accepting that he’s “not good” and stuff just felt weird. Still had fun and will keep reading this series though! Lol
