Given the super dark nature of the topics discussed in this novel, it's hard to give it a higher rating. Reader, beware.  Make sure you check the content warnings before you dive in to this story. I've read several Cerberus MC novels and although most of their stories cover hard topics, this story takes TWs to a whole new level.

On to the actual review -- I enjoyed the patience and dedication of the MMC to his new love interest. I like that consent was front and center in the conversations characters had about their relationships and intimate interactions. I appreciated the FMCs feisty attitude.

Having said that, it was disappointing that the FMC seemed to wake up one day and "vow" to miraculously be cured of her past trauma, be able to work through her cPTSD overnight and without any professional help (refused counseling, refused meds, for the most part never discussed her horrific experiences). I recognize this is a smutty romance novel and not a high literary work of fiction. It was just disheartening to see such an unrealistic portrait of healing from severe physical and mental traumas.

If you can handle the TW topics and set aside judgment about the FMCs miraculously ability to be "healed" overnight by the dedication and love of a fabulous man, then I encourage you to read this story. It's entertaining if you go into it with open eyes.
