Tough topics and emotional upheaval that is (mostly) fully developed. There are a couple things that I missed reading more about but we're set up enough toward the end to see the future of the characters.

There were a lot of dark parts. This wasn’t a fluffy romance from Nora Roberts that I had been accustomed to reading in college. This had plenty of things that need trigger warnings:

abduction, rape, murder, abuse, indoctrination, torture, animal abuse

. It also had plenty of facets that I enjoy: horses, ranches, good strong lead characters with good communication skills. Not a super big “trope” heavy book in the way I’ve been reading them. Enjoyable characters, just not light and fluffy, it took me quite a while to get through and my heart is not lighter after the fact.
