10 Signs You Need to Grovel by Kelly Siskind

4.0

10 Signs You Need to Grovel is the first book that I've read by author Kelly Siskind and I quite enjoyed it. It had some of my favorite tropes, second chance, unknown child, and family drama. I found this book to be refreshing because the entire book was from the male lead's POV, which is rare in romances. Typically you see either dual or the female lead's POV, so only seeing it from Desmond's perspective was nice. Through out the book you saw him struggle with going back to the life he once wanted, before his father's past mistakes lead to his entire family having to enter the witness protection program, and Desmond figuring out if he wants that life back.
One aspect that I liked was that not for one second did Desmond not think about going back to his one true love Sadie. The only reason he didn't go back to her sooner is he thought she had a family so he didn't want to mess that up for her, and he was also afraid to find out the truth. I also liked that when Desmond found out about his son Max, even though he was scared out of his mind about being a dad, he stepped up and was ready to do whatever he needed for Max.
My only problem with this book was the pacing. As much as I enjoyed the plot, I found it very slow going. So it took me a while to get to a point that I was more into the story.
