I wanted to like this one so much more! The first half was amazing and I really loved Corrie's character. I had a major issue with the MMC, I do read a ton of dark romance books where there are morally grey men who do bad things but this is not that. The MMC really white man'd his way through life and we're supposed to feel bad cause his mom is dying and he's doing all of this for his dying mom? Not to mention that every time his POV mentioned Corrie, it was about her physical attributes which is a HUGE part of the book because she doesn't feel respected by her peers for being a woman. This had a really good idea but I don't think it was executed well.
