“Sleeping with the Enemy” meets “Practical Magic” in a 2001 book that did not age well. Specifically with regards to the treatment of domestic violence and the way Zack treats and speaks to Nell.
Nell is a strong survivor, and Zack knows she has a traumatic history… but the way he talks to her is inconsiderate (at best) and controlling (at worst). The resolution explains his perspective and feelings, but there were some lines of dialog that were hard to read.
I love the witches on an island theme, so I’ll probably read the next two books in the series.
