Sweetest Damage: A Possessive Billionaire Fake Relationship Romance

by Christin Wales

My bakery was my sanctuary, built from the ashes of a past I fought to escape. Then Dante Ashford stormed in – a devastatingly handsome, ruthless billionaire who saw the world, and me, as something to be controlled. He became my landlord, my shadow, the unwelcome dark romance hero I never asked for.

To save my business, I made a six months as his fake relationship companion. We agreed on rules, but the lines blurred fast under the forced proximity and intense chemistry. This possessive hero demanded I play a part, but the glimpses of the broken man beneath the armor – haunted by secrets and guilt – felt dangerously real.

Our arrangement ignited a steamy romance that threatened to consume us both. He wanted control, I craved independence, yet the pull between us was undeniable. But Dante's world hides deadly secrets and suspense. As his alpha male instincts turn possessive, I realize falling for him could cost me more than just my heart. Can a strong heroine survive loving a man whose darkness might shatter everything?

Sweetest Damage is an angsty, standalone contemporary romance packed with high heat, a morally grey hero, fake dating becoming real, and surprise pregnancy themes, guaranteeing a hard-won HEA. Perfect for readers who love a gripping story of love born from chaos.

Storyline has potential but it feels like half a book worth of context, character and world buildnig is missing. In addition the constant use of "..." in dialogue makes it feel like both main characters are in the midst of a panic attack at all times.

Another 175 pages of context and it can be something good.

It was a good book and fast read but it just jumped so fast there was no build up to their story..
