I feel like I'm constantly repeating myself with my reviews for this author, I'm not sure how many more ways to say incandescent, heartbreakingly real and all the words I use a lot when reviewing their work.

This is an angsty book, and the HEA is saved til right at the very last moment but there's just something about every character EM Lindsey writes that sucks you and makes you feel every tiny emotion they feel.

Nik and Adam are no different. Nik is a very lucky man that Adam is so forgiving, as he definitely doesn't make this relationship easy. It's a testament to the author that Adam's forgiveness feels authentic and natural.

There's a theme of fate running through this book, and I can't remember if it's present in the first book as it's so long since I read it, but I love how in Staccato, it's so finely and subtly woven into the story that the payoff at the end in simply a natural progression of this setup.

There's a content warning in this book for the death of a parent due to a terminal illness (Alzheimer's). I found this a part of the story tough to read as someone who has been through a similar situation.

I received an ARC and have chosen to leave an honest review.
