This book hurt. Not just with how lonely Dahlia was feeling, but her trauma and the trauma of Lucien. I felt for Dahlia. That all-consuming darkness. The love of the pain to help numb the emotional hurricane inside. I was hurting for her. Reading her thoughts and seeing her go further and further into despair. I hated all three of the Rossi men. I hated how they acted towards her, like she was a game. Her feelings didn't matter. But, as time went ok, i saw the truth, and so did Dahlia. Gabriel saw her darkness and tried to help her. Slowly, she trusted all of them. And she became stronger. And nothing is manlier and more amazing than a woman feeling safe with her husbands, which is what all 3 ended up being to her. Their traumas were all valid! And so glad that Dahlia opened up to them and got revenge on the one that haunted her Nightmares! Love the ending and that they all 4 are together and giving Dahlia her freedom.
