Audible Narration:
*voluntarily and honestly reviewed the ARC I received from Maxwell Author Services*
This is an automatic favorite book to add to the shelves for making me cry and laugh so much. I swear, it felt like I was crying every few pages, it was so sad. Truly did master the title and make me feel like Agony was a long acquainted friend.
Bash has a secret and a plan that he won't tell Rose about until it's too late, but Rose refuses to give up on him. I thought the whole thing was really sweet and intense when it came to the more gritty things of reality. It was hot, heartfelt and entertaining. A few things felt strung out but when it comes to stubborn people who refuse to change, it can feel like you're immobile. You should read this because of how sweet the love story is, how fast they click and how fast they fall with the obligations and responsibilities thrown between them. The whole thing was dramatic but intense and something I really couldn't put down even if I tried, it was that good. Read it, if you really like contemporary romances with people that need that extra kick for good behavior.
Product Description
Dear Agony,
You've been my shadow, following me through childhood—filling my days and nights with terror and uncertainty. You cleverly disguised yourself as some form of pain or suffering as I grew into a young woman. We were unwavering companions… until I severed our ties.
I traded homelessness on the streets of New Orleans for a luxurious bed covered by the finest linens.
I traded dumpster diving for dinner in the finest restaurants.
I traded myself to a stranger—Bastien Pascal.
I have a good life within my platonic and mutually beneficial companionship with Bash.
He’s my friend. My mentor. My roommate.
Until everything changes.
I’m not supposed to get goosebumps when his hand brushes my skin.
I’m not supposed to be eager for his soothing touch following one of my nightmares.
I’m not supposed to think about what might happen if I reached out to him in the darkness.
Falling in love with him? Preposterous… unavoidable.
Agony, why are you back with a vengeance to rob me of this life I’ve come to love so dearly?
I’m finally happy. Don’t ruin this for me.
Always yours,
Rose
In this epic love story, Dear Agony forges a connection between an unlikely pair—a beautiful rose entwined in barbed wire and a shipwreck sinking into the darkest depths of the ocean. This agonizing romantic novel poses some gut-wrenching questions: What does a woman do when the man she loves is planning his own demise? And how far will she go to give him something to live for?
