Not my favorite of the series. Alessandra files for divorce after her husband Dominic works through their 10th anniversary. When he's finally hit with reality, Dom realizes his wife has been unhappy for years, and this is a surprise only to him. As he struggles to win Alessandra back and find a work/life balance to prove to his now ex-wife she really does matter to him, his foster brother Roman appears after decades of no contact that began when Roman was arrested as a teen. While Dom and Alessandra do love each other and can't keep away, like his friends in the first two books, Dom can't take no for an answer. The main difference in this one is that Alé spends much of the book trying to find herself outside her marriage.
Unfortunately, it really feels like at the end of the book, she just goes back. Dom is much more conciencious of his own habits, but Alessandra never really finds herself outside of him which wws disappointing
