Heartbreaking Jaded Characters That Make You Melt

Quote:📖

“I love you, Ellie. So fucking much. Don’t be anyone else. Don’t wish you were another woman, because the only woman I’ve ever loved like this is you. Now please, let me show you,”

Thoughts: 💡

I really enjoyed this book. The MCs were world weary, mid-life individuals that had lost everything, including their hope for one another. There was a slow simmer of hate and mistrust for such a large part of the story that I seriously questioned whether the two would work it out and come together, but they did and it was sizzling.

Writing Mechanics: ✍️

This story is very character driven with their flaws and development a main focus of the book. But, there is definitely a plot and I didn’t fully guess all the twists and moving parts. It’s written in first person, present tense, dual POV.

Narration & Sound: 🔊

We also get a dual narration with So we also got a dual narration with Joe Arden voices reading the male parts and Maxine Mitchell reading the female ones. For me, this feels like the best way to do it. The audio is clear and the sound volume remains level with a steady pace.

Fun Bits:

⚜️ Joe Arden Talking Dirty

⚜️ Fierce FMC

⚜️ MCs in their late thirties, early forties

⚜️ Cold Hard Revenge

⚜️ There’s A Picture In The Book!

Important Note:✨

Stand alone that features the character Frank McCabe from Whiskey Lies and the Boston Billionaire Series.
