I did not enjoy this book.
I thought this book was going to be a fun m/m romance about a cop who had moved to a new town looking for a fresh start falling for a local guy who was a bit down on his luck but working hard to change his life. Instead, it was about unending traumatic backstories and "but wait, there's more!" levels of melodrama. And listen, I am not against soap opera narratives! I don't need my romance novels to be super realistic, plot-wise. But what I do need is to believe the connection between the two leads, and that didn't happened for me in this book. Samuel and Rey have an instant chemistry, or so we're told, but I never really understood why either one of them would be interested in dealing with the other person's baggage, given that they each had a truckload of their own. So this book was not for me, I'm afraid.
Grade: D
