Take Care of Me by Gianni Holmes

3.5

Well, this one really didn’t hit the mark the first book did as we definitely got to see more of the dynamic between Owen & Declan. While I did like that Dec took Owen’s kids (especially the twins) interrogation, I did not appreciate the humiliation Dec treated Owen with regarding Ridge’s presence & tear on their budding relationship let alone no apology even though Owen was definitely owed one for Ridge’s use of ‘daddy’. To make Owen feel unworthy when Declan hadn’t done a thing to actually fix the issue & then punish Owen bc he didn’t have faith in Dec?? 😳 oh hell to the NO! I’m VERY unimpressed & not expecting anything to change in book 3. The power dynamic that Declan has always swung in his own direction is absolutely despicable & I don’t care how young he is. He gets off on pushing Owen & it’s sickening, childish manipulation & how the writer wrote Owen to be such a pushover in these scenes is senseless. For any reader, definitely be aware of this!!
