1star because of heroine and liar ex boyfriend/ also (asshole)friend of hero. They ruined the book.
B O R I N G. Not angst-y at all. Just plain boring. And “unfair” LOL. I have to agree with my friend who told me to read and take my own conclusion. And forget every review I read about it.
The first 10 chapters were a struggle to concentrate. The rest wasn’t better. Useless dialogues and info nobody cares.
Honestly, and with all due respect to reviews I read, I really believe the book was nothing like that. Except the hero was a manwhore. But that’s not even worth to take in consideration anymore because every book has the same guy with different name. And I definitely liked him. And I say that with no shame. Even with his manwhore days, but I disliked this pathetic excuse of heroine so much I HAD to take his side. If that makes sense.
The heroine ex boyfriend is a snake moron. A deceitful, deceiving being that should have had died with a smashed head (dick- the problem was with his fertility) like a snake in whatever accident he had. And the hero should have given this Emily (the so called ow- who wasn’t one at all imho)a chance and he had all the right to be in whatever relationship he wanted because his supposedly “love” was in a 9 years relationship with the snake of his friend who lied and manipulated the situation in the past to stay with heroine. And the heroine didn’t know if she would give the snake a chance if he came back and asked for forgiveness. I was like, REALLY? A guy breaks up a 9 year relationship, lies about the reason ( seems like he’s a serial 🤥 liar) and says they need to be with op because they were not ready to get married and she consideres giving the asshole a chance? What a weak person. I can’t deal with this line of thinking. “Oh yeah, you know.. he broke up with me in a coldest way possible, we were even talking marriage, you know, after 9 YEARS together.. but he thought we should see other people, play the field. If nothing better happens we get back together and move our plans forward. But if he comes back asking me back and for forgiveness, I think I might give him a chance. After all it was 9 YEARS.” (That wasn’t in the book. It’s my way to summarize the stupid logic of this amoeba). Exactly, it was 9 years. He broke up with you. Hurt you not telling you the truth making you believe you’re not enough anymore and he needed to make sure you were it for him, and you’re still thinking if he came back you could give him a chance. At this point I wish the hero had sex with EMILY ( the (not) ow) and fall in love with her.

And of course the sleazy ex boyfriend came back. Should I feel sorry for him after finding the truth? I didn’t. Not a tiny bit. Actually, I was hoping he couldn’t even get it up anymore and die of sadness. Yep.. I am that cold and uncaring. A liar, irresponsible, disrespectful jerk he is. He didn’t take in consideration her girlfriend of 9 years feelings. I don’t respect this kind of man.
And I think heroine and ex should get back together. She didn’t deserve the hero. She had the capacity to spend Christmas with the jerk to make sure she didn’t have that kind of “love” for him anymore. And she let him kiss her. Afterwards she was devastated because she came to the conclusion a person could love two people at same time. Shut your brain out, amoeba. Oops, amoeba doesn’t have brain. That explains your “thoughts and attitudes “. You were already in love with hero. Meaning:you don’t love scum bag ex. But you are too stupid,aren’t ya amoeba?! I think you never read what “philosopher “ Johnny Dep said, didi you?
Hero should stay with Emily, the 1st woman he thought he could have a serious relationship with. Yep, he told the heroine that at some point as well. She was someone he hit it up with. He had all the right in the world because the woman he loved was in a 9 years relationship with his friend. What was the hero supposed to do: vow of celibacy for his entire life? Give me a break. He deserved to find someone and not take his love for the heroine to his grave. He had all the right in this world to try find love with someone else and forget amoeba. After all she was in a very reciprocated love relationship with other man. He also should break the legs and arms of his so called friend (the sleazy ex) for being an asshole liar shitty friend in the past and let heroine and ex be. They deserve each other. After 9 years.. what else ??
I felt sorry for the hero. Heroine didn’t deserve him.
I am pretty sure is very noticeable by this messy review how much I despise this female mc. 🤬😡


P. s. I loved the way hero cared for his mother. Only people who has ever been around people with dementia, knows how hard and how heartbreaking it is. ❤️❤️


Former note. In February 26-I will completely disregard the note below because it’s not the case at all. What I wrote has absolutely nothing to do with the book. Yep.. I read the book. And everything I assumed in the note bellow is not true. IMO. 😯🤨😱


this hero is in love with the heroine I definitely don’t know what love is. And reading this review I think it could have 2 heroines? Amber and Emily? The readers pick. I really think the author should have 2 or 3 versions of this book. A third one where the hero just wants to be with himself when he realizes he really doesn’t love anyone but himself

2 great reviews:👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

It really isn’t a page turner. And for someone who’s hurt after a break up she really has a lot to say about the hero’s physique. Not amused"

Lu Bielefeld Que coisa... ele me parece mais interessado pela OW do que pela heroína... até o sexo foi o melhor da vida dele... não gostei!

Rejane @Lu horrível mesmo. Mas notei q essa autora diminuiu muito os leitores (baseado nos números de review). Acho q as pessoas estão se cansando desse formato cafajeste dela: traição e outras pessoas, triângulo etc. Também não gostei nem um pouco. Como acreditar no amor dele por ela? A sinopse é bem dissimulada.


Rejane Retiro tudo q disse em meus comentários. Kkkkkkk

vou ter que ler então, hahaha!


Rejane Leia. Minha amiga aqui me emprestou o Kindle dela p eu ler pq eu me recusei a comprar. Depois de ler tantos reviews contra. Kkkk. Ela foi veemente em dizer q eu tinha que desinfetar todas as info que li sobre o livro. No fim, realmente pintaram o herói com uma cor q não era a dele. A heroína é uma sonsa e eu realmente queria q o herói ficasse c a Emily. P mim ela não é a outra mulher. Ela quase não apareceu e causou zero drama. Nem falo do ex namorado. Esse sim, ele pode ter namorado com ela 9 anos. Mas a maneira q ele fez p namorar a heroina. Enganando ela e o herói, sendo manipulativo, ele é pior que 1000 manwhore heroes juntos. Falso, dissimulado. Devia era ter perdido o pinto no acidente. Kkkkkk
