If you can move past some deceit, a toooooooooon of miscommunication, and two damaged people making poor decisions in their interactions, this series starter was a fun read. 

I definitely had a bunch of issues with this - mostly all with behavior and communication.

One of my biggest issues - I mostly liked Mara but come on, are you really going to jump into bed with your long estranged husband who never even consummated the marriage now that he’s back and acting drastically different than he did during the marriage? I would hope that Mara would have more self-respect, so I was aggravated and disappointed in how most of the connection between Mara and Ambrose after such a lengthy estrangement is in intimacy. Intimacy is highly important, but so is actual communication - this didn’t sit well with me. 

Issues aside, I did mostly enjoy this one, and plan on checking out more by the author.
