Come Take Me Now
Enzo doesn’t have Robby’s polished charm or quiet restraint. He’s the rugged cousin with too many tattoos, too many secrets, and too many responsibilities as new manager of Tenuta Valenti. In the sun-soaked vineyards of Napa, he’s a storm in denim and ink—a man who’s learned to cover everything he can’t control. When a lost twenty-one-year-old stumbles into his path, he decides it’s fate.
Tilly only meant to spend one summer in Napa before grad school—long enough to make peace with her estranged father, not long enough to fall for the man who seems to be everywhere she turns. She tells herself it’s lust, but the more time she spends with Enzo, the deeper she falls—even as she begins to see the parts of him he hides from everyone else.
When the truth about how far he’s gone to keep her finally comes out, Tilly walks away for space she’s not sure she wants. But one secret—one she can’t ignore—pulls her back to him. And this time, walking away isn’t an option.

All of Enzo’s red flags get cancelled out by his big heart, piercings, and tattoos. Tilly may have been lost but I’m pretty sure the universe was putting her right where she needed to be and with who she needed to be the day she turned into the vineyard.
Review of advance copy received from Author
O M G! Where do I begin with Enzo and Tilly. Like I knew Enzo was going to hit but dang… Caitlin you have definitely did it for sure! I am still over here thinking about him after I have read it and wanting for so much more. Enzo check off many of my boxes lol, tattoos check, man bun check, piercing check 😉, and age gap which I am definitely a sucker for. Anywho this couple will have you loving them from the beginning till the end. Enzo and Tilly are truly amazing will have you laughing, giggle, blushing, and fanning yourself down but they will have you frustrated, angry, crying (just a little), pulling your heart strings.
Come Take Me Now is that book will have you in your feeling and emotions that how real. Enzo my man dealt with a lot of things and he handled it the only way he saw fit but when Tilly came he wanted to be better and Tilly was dealing with her own emotions but she stood by and helped was such amazing thing because not a lot of people want to stick around.

Come Take Me Now by Caitlin Rose was definitely an interesting read and one that really dives into Tilly and Enzo’s whirlwind romance.
From the moment Enzo meets Tilly, it’s obsession at first sight. Tilly is ten years younger, spending the summer in Napa with the estranged father she hasn’t seen in years, and she literally lands right in Enzo’s path when her car breaks down and her phone dies. Cue the broody, tattooed vineyard manager swooping in and an immediate case of insta-lust for both of them.
For me, the beginning felt a little slow, and while I eventually caught on to the fact that both characters were carrying a lot of baggage - from childhood trauma to neurodivergent experiences - the story felt a bit jumpy at times. This is very much an insta-lust, insta-obsession, insta-love kind of romance. Enzo’s feelings are definitely more intense, but both characters dive in headfirst so quickly that I struggled a little with the believability of their immediate connection. Tie in Enzo’s intensity was explained in part by his abuse of adderall and I was struggling a bit.
I think what I wanted most was more character development and backstory earlier in the book. Both Tilly and Enzo are masters of avoidance and deflection, and while that absolutely fits their personalities, it also made it harder for me to fully get in their corners right away. Looking back, though, I think that may have been intentional. Caitlin Rose puts the reader through a similar experience to what the characters are going through with each other - you only get pieces at a time, and you’re constantly trying to figure out what’s really going on beneath the surface.
Tilly was the harder character for me to connect with. I struggled to understand some of her motivations, especially when it came to returning to stay with an estranged father who had caused her so much pain and trauma. She spent so much of her time avoiding him that some of those interactions felt more like plot devices than situations she would realistically put herself through. However, I feel how Caitlin wrote how Tilly deals with confrontation, never making waves, making herself small/agreeable, making everything ok was really insightful and spot on. I just struggle why if she was hours away from him prior, that she would drive and put herself in the situation with her father as an adult.
Enzo, on the other hand, was pure chaos - and honestly, that fits what was happening in his head. But I kept wanting more. There were so many side characters making comments about him and hinting at deeper issues, yet the story never fully dug into them. In a way, that mirrors how Enzo himself moves through life - keeping people at arm’s length and never fully letting them in - but as a reader, it left me wanting a little more depth.
Overall, this was a solid read. Interestingly, a lot of the things that frustrated me about the story mirrored the way Tilly and Enzo interacted with each other. The confusion, the avoidance, the lack of clear answers - it all puts the reader in the same emotional space as the characters. Whether that was intentional or not, it made for a unique reading experience, and while it didn’t completely work for me, I can definitely appreciate what the author was trying to do. I will say the epilogue pay-off at the end I appreciated and enjoyed the wrap up of their story. 📚✨

Caitlin Rose has truly outdone herself with Come Take Me Now, delivering an emotional, addictive romance that swept me away from the very first page. Set against the stunning backdrop of Napa Valley vineyards, this story is filled with passion, vulnerability, healing, and a love story that lingers long after the final chapter.
When Tilly arrives in Napa for the summer before starting grad school, the last thing she expects is Enzo. Their first meeting feels like fate, and from that moment on, the chemistry between them is impossible to ignore. What begins as a summer romance quickly develops into something much deeper as both characters find themselves confronting the wounds and secrets they've spent years trying to bury.
Enzo completely stole the show for me. Beneath his rugged exterior, tattoos, protective nature, and intense presence is a man carrying more pain than anyone realizes. Watching his walls slowly come down as he allows Tilly into his life was one of the most rewarding parts of the story. His devotion, loyalty, and desire to become a better version of himself made him impossible not to fall for. He perfectly balances strength and vulnerability, creating a character that feels both captivating and deeply human.
Tilly's journey was equally compelling. Her struggles with family trauma, self-discovery, and learning to prioritize her own happiness felt authentic and heartfelt. She brings warmth, compassion, and resilience to the story, and her relationship with Enzo becomes a source of growth for them both. Together, they create a romance that is messy, passionate, protective, and emotionally rich.
One of Caitlin Rose's greatest strengths is her ability to create characters who feel real. Both Tilly and Enzo carry emotional scars that influence how they navigate relationships, trust, and vulnerability. As their connection deepens, the story explores themes of healing, acceptance, and the courage it takes to let someone truly see you. Their emotional journey feels just as impactful as the romance itself.
The atmosphere of the Napa vineyard setting adds another layer of magic to the story. The vineyards, warm summer days, and romantic scenery create the perfect backdrop for a love story filled with tension, longing, and unforgettable moments. Caitlin immerses readers so completely that it feels like you're experiencing every emotion right alongside the characters.
What makes Come Take Me Now stand out is the balance between heartfelt emotion, humor, romance, and undeniable chemistry. The slow unraveling of both characters, combined with their powerful connection, kept me fully invested from beginning to end. There were moments that made me laugh, smile, blush, and even tear up as Tilly and Enzo fought for the future they both deserved.
By the time I reached the epilogue, I wasn't ready to say goodbye. The payoff was beautiful, satisfying, and the perfect conclusion to a story that delivers both emotional depth and unforgettable romance. Come Take Me Now is a captivating read filled with heart, healing, and characters you'll be thinking about long after you've turned the last page. If you love emotionally charged romances with protective heroes, intense chemistry, and a deeply satisfying love story, this book absolutely deserves a place on your TBR.

Caitlin Rose seriously did it again with Come Take Me Now. This book completely swept me away and I could not put it down once Enzo entered the picture. From the very beginning, there was this addictive tension and emotional pull that kept me glued to every single page.
First of all, Caitlin Rose is honestly one of the sweetest and funniest people and being part of her street team has been such an amazing experience. Watching her bring these incredible characters to life and getting to help hype up her books is such a joy because she pours so much heart into every story she writes. And trust me when I say everyone is going to absolutely fall for Enzo.
This man is all rugged tattoos, protective energy, hidden emotions, and possessive intensity wrapped up in one dangerously sexy package. And yes… the pierced 🍆 absolutely deserves its own fan club because whew. Enzo was the perfect mix of rough around the edges and secretly soft where it counted. The chemistry between him and Tilly was insanely good and every interaction between them had me smiling, blushing, or completely emotional.
What I loved most was how much depth this story had underneath all the heat and tension. Tilly’s journey felt real and emotional as she tried to navigate family wounds, love, and figuring out who she really is. Enzo carried so much weight on his shoulders and seeing the layers of him slowly unravel made me love him even more. Their connection felt messy, passionate, protective, and deeply emotional in the best way possible.
The Napa vineyard setting added such a beautiful atmosphere to the story too. It felt warm, romantic, and intoxicating while still carrying this undercurrent of tension and secrets waiting to explode. Caitlin Rose knows exactly how to balance spice, emotion, humor, and heartbreak in a way that keeps you fully invested from beginning to end.
This book gave me butterflies, emotional damage, and some very spicy moments I will definitely not be forgetting anytime soon. Enzo officially owns a piece of my soul now and I am not even mad about it. Huge five stars from me. I loved every second of this ride.

A big thanks to the author and her team for the opportunity to read and review this ARC.
This was definitely an interesting read. I did keep having to remind myself this isn’t a dark romance, as Enzo’s behaviour definitely had me on my guard the entire time. Though there were absolutely some dark themes in this book which you’d typically find in dark romance books. Some of the themes I’ll admit did make me feel uncomfortable.
Tilly and Enzo cross paths as complete strangers when she gets lost searching for her estranged father’s house and pulls into Enzo’s family vineyard to seek help. Their relationship unfolds from that very moment and it’s super insta-love and insta-lust.
Although Enzo gets very intense, this felt like a very low stakes story. They both have their own lives and their immediate futures lined up separately, so for as intense as Enzo was about his feelings for Tilly, if their relationship didn’t work out it really wouldn’t destroy their lives.
I think it was intentional to follow the dynamic between Enzo and Tilly, but the unveiling of each of their backstories and baggage felt very scattered. You constantly feel like you’re two steps behind the characters, trying to figure out why they’re acting the way that they are.
The progression in the third act did feel slightly rushed. It went from 0 to 100 so quickly and seemed to be resolved so easily. I’m still on the fence how I feel about their relationship and how much I believed in the connection they had, but I did appreciate the epilogue and how it tied up their story.
Overall this was a good read, and definitely worthwhile reading if you like insta-love and want to dip your toe into suspense and dark romance without truly getting into the true intensity of dark romance.

This story follows Tilly and Enzo. Tilly is trying to survive her messy life while Enzo slowly becomes completely obsessed with her. What starts as protection turns into something darker, possessive, and all consuming. Their relationship was chaotic, emotional, toxic, addictive, and impossible to look away from.
Enzo was literally walking red flags and I still ate up every second of him. He was obsessive, controlling, jealous, and completely gone for Tilly. The way he always wanted to protect her while also crossing every boundary possible made this story feel so intense. He was the type of character that makes you question your sanity because you know he is toxic but somehow you still want more scenes of him.
Tilly was soft but strong at the same time and I loved seeing her stand up for herself when things got too much. She was emotional, relatable, and easy to connect with. I really liked that even with all the chaos around her, she still tried to hold onto herself instead of completely losing who she was.
The chemistry between them was actually insane. Every interaction felt heavy with tension and obsession. Their relationship was not healthy at all but that is exactly what made this story so addictive.
I also loved how emotional this book felt underneath all the dark romance elements. It talked about trauma, control, loneliness, and wanting someone so badly that it turns consuming.
The spice was intense, emotional, and honestly fit the story perfectly.
The ending made me so emotional and I already know Enzo is going to stay in my head for a long time.
Thank you author for the ARC!

Come take me now
Enzo and Tilly also know has honey bee and hurricane.
So I don’t know how to even describe this book it was soooo good! All I can say is wow and oh my!
There was so much but I loved it all! I couldn’t put this book down I read it in two days! The insta lust, protecting Tilly, sexual connection, healing Enzo, family trauma, family drama, possessive tendencies, romantic feelings but under it all is love they absolutely love And understand one another.
Enzo is born into a legacy and has all the pressure to be the perfect first born, he takes on the family business and it’s all a bit much. He loves hard and protects what is his. He’s loyal to a fault. He gets judged by the way he carries himself but underneath it all he’s a man who wants to love and be loved.
Tilly is a young gal whom has ADHD and had learned to navigate life while feeling off in it. She is sweet and quirky and people seem to mis judge her for it. She is the only child and has had a difficult not so nice relationship with her father. But she is so sweet, nice, beautiful, kind hearted and giving.
When Tilly accidentally meets Enzo it’s like there world has shifted and they are exactly where they need to be with one another!
These two are so good together but there are some major bumps along the way. Enzo and Tilly learn about one another and help one another as much as it may seem off or even bizarre it’s them and it works! And the way these two spice it up it’s beyond steamy it’s going to make you blush and shock you in that good way tho.
⭐️/5 and more

Oh, Enzo Valenti... the man that you are. 🥵
Come Take Me had me hooked from the very first chapter. Between the chemistry, the tension, the angst, and all the emotional moments, I was completely invested in Tilly and Enzo's story.
Enzo is a morally gray, possessive, tattooed vineyard owner who is absolutely obsessed with Tilly. The man is a walking red flag, but somehow that just made me love him more. The "Touch Her & ☠️" energy was unmatched, and when I say this man would do anything for her, I mean ANYTHING. Also... the pierced 🍆? Thank you, Caitlin Rose. 🤭
Tilly was smart, funny, ambitious, and easy to root for. I also appreciated the ADHD representation, which felt authentic and was handled with care.
The slow burn was delicious, the forced proximity kept the tension high, and the emotional moments hit exactly when they needed to. Watching these two navigate their feelings while healing from their pasts had me rooting for them the entire time.
If you love age-gap romance, possessive heroes, neurodivergent representation, slow-burn tension, and a hero who falls first and falls hard, definitely add this one to your TBR.
Thank you to Caitlin Rose for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!

If you love age-gap romance, possessive heroes, neurodivergent representation, slow-burn tension, and a hero who falls first and falls hard, definitely add this one to your TBR.
Thank you to Caitlin Rose for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!

I wasn't sure what to expect going into Come Take Me Now, but boy did Enzo surprise me. He is definitely red flags galore, but those piercings, tattoos, and hot body make up for it. Enter Tilly, determined and hoping to make the best of her summer despite having to spend it with her crappy Dad. I guess you could say she was in the right place at the right time when her car broke down at the winery. First, can I say that hell yeah, love a man who immediately tries to take care of my problems, especially car issues. Love that. The spice was very steamy; I love how passionate the two of them are together. I also love how we got a glimpse into Appa and Robby's life; it's always cool to see how the characters are doing in the future. I am still getting used to the whole him wanting to force the pregnancy on her because he knew what her plans were, and I think Enzo should have considered that regardless of how things ended. Both come from complicated pasts and trauma, but it was nice to see them open up and overcome their fears. The breakup literally broke my heart, but I think it was needed, but the reunion was sweet. Lastly, the epilogue was amazing!! 10/10. I think Rose wrapped up the book in the best possible way, and it just felt so good to see Enzo and Tilly happy again.

✨ARC Book Review✨
The way this book delivered!! I’m obsessed!
When reading Book One, Enzo is described as having a strong personality, and literally no lie! That man was every red flag in the beginning. And once he saw Tilly, it was on!
This book had all the elements of a dark romance that I personally love. Honestly, did you read the description of Enzo? Over six feet tall, covered in tattoos, cultured in wine, and successful in business… would we really be mad that he’s obsessed with us?!
Enzo had a lot to figure out. Honestly when he would crash out I ping ponged between this is hot and he needs to chill. His characters growth was everything. By the end of the book, he was easily my favorite character.
I really felt for Tilly. Her home life was awful. I will say I was impressed by her empathy… she’s young, but she wasn’t judgmental. I think she handled some heavy topics with a lot of compassion.
The spice in this book was everything! Enzo is incredibly sexy and a total dom. Honestly, the storyline, the spice, and the ending had me locked in. So, so good!

Rcvd an ARC from the author.
We meet wine connoisseur Enzo, who feels like his life is stagnant. All his younger cousins and siblings are married with kids and he's just him. Luck would be on his side when a tall sexy woman steps out of her car lost. Tilly is lost in Napa on thr way to her dad's....ugh..she doesn't want to go there as being around him when she was younger was bad. She pulls Into a vineyard and sees the most sexy tatted man she has ever seen. Enzo takes Tilly and her car to be fixed. Enzo is hooked and has sort of cyber stalked to know everything about her. A "chance" mtg at a bar has Enzo saving Tilly from young dudes. Enzo and Tilly hang out and start to date. Enzo is intense and Tilly is falling into him. Things are happening so fast, they learn more of each other's pasts, cruxes and how being in an intense situationship can reel havoc. Drama, smexy times and releasing control make this a good read.

Caitlin Rose has given us another obsessive MMC to drool over. He’s tall, muscular, tattooed, and pierced 🙈😊. Then there’s Tilly, who has always been made to feel insecure about her ADHD and quirky personality. Although they both have traumas and insecurities they’ve buried deep, these two could not be more opposite in their personalities. And yet they are drawn to each other. What starts off as obsession on Enzo’s part, quickly turns into more. He wants to own Tilly and goes to great lengths to do so. Tilly is looking forward to grad school and is ready to pursue her career goals, not settle down. These two become a messy whirlwind but ultimately, their patience and understanding for one another wins out in the end.

Obsession. Hard-fought. Secrets
This one is a whirlwind. From the moment Enzo lays eyes on Tilly, he’s obsessed. He’s a walking red flag, misguided by his need to protect and his devotion to her. This is an insta-love kind of story where both characters jump in head first without really doing themselves justice by getting to know each other properly or deal with their own baggage and secrets, which will eventually undermine their relationship.
Tilly has a journey of self-discovery to go through, she has past family trauma and both her and Enzo carry emotional scars that impact how they navigate their relationship. The story shows you what it’s like to finally let someone see you for the real you, through healing and acceptance, vulnerability and growth.
Enzo is a possessive, heavily tattooed and pierced vineyard owner, while Tilly is funny, driven and intelligent.

Whoa Enzo, down boy!
Yes, I am pretending he is real- sue me. Enzo, a rather fine MMC, manager of the family business, and painfully single. Then fate stepped it.
A love story with a hitch, for the dark brooding MMC is older than his love interest. But its only 10years, in book speak, thats nothing. Some books I have read there is over 300years difference- again, sue me, I love a steamy morally grey man okay! The plot was divine, raw and real, with the age gap actually being mentioned and discussed as it would be in real life. A summer romance that gets heavy quick, but is believable. Absolutely devoured this book, finishing in a few hours as I couldn't put it down.
Many thanks to Caitlin for allowing me to arc read this, it was an absolute pleasure.
All views are my own, duh.

If you like your men tattooed, your characters relatable, and your scenes spicy, then you need to read this book.
I was hooked right from the first chapter. Between Tilly's less than conventional family dynamic to Enzo's control issues, there's so much that kept me wanting to turn each page.
Tilly and Enzo were honestly both so relatable too. Tilly with her self-proclaimed awkwardness, and Enzo with his desire to be his own person within his family. This book was really just everything.
I was NOT expecting some of the plot twists and and events of the book, but I promise that was not upset by ANY of it. I really loved this book, and I'm excited to read more by this author.

This book had me hooked from Come Find Me Tonight. Caitlin is an author that if she writes it, I'm going to read it, and I know I'll love it. I absolutely loved the storyline and seeing Enzo and Tilly fall in love. I loved Enzo from the moment he took his time with her, even knowing he wanted it all just as bad as she did. I'm sad that the duet is over, but these are both books that I could definitely reread again and again. Caitlin's descriptive writing really brings the story to life, and it makes it play out like a movie in my head. If I could give this book more than 5 stars, I would in a heartbeat!

Oh Enzo how I love you and all your 🍆 hardware!!
It’s a good thing I like the color red because Enzo is a walking talking red flag but man in the best way! This man was down bad for Tilly the moment she accidentally made her way to his winery! He knew he needed her and he would do anything to have her! And Tilly was such a fun FMC. She was smart, driven, funny and oh so horn y lol how could she not me attracted to the tall, dark, handsome, tattooed winery manager. Once they got together there was no separating them.
I loved the ADHD rep and how Caitlin beautifully wrote the abuse of medications and how they navigate this hurtle.

I absolutely loved this book so much!! Enzo was everything and more!!! Ch 10 was my favorite!! Tilly wasn’t ready🤭🤭🤭 speaking of Tilly, I could really relate to her a lot because as someone who is neurodivergent it’s really cool to be seen and heard! I will forever and always recommend this book to anyone. They will need to read the first book first and then read this one!! Both book were amazing!! Caitlin you have done it again!! This book is truly amazing!❤️❤️ the spice was spicing in all the right ways. The way he would tell her “I don’t know if you’re ready for me yet” had me kicking my feet and blushing so hard!!! Caitlin you are amazing and thank you so much!!

Omg Enzo was just what the world needed!!! I loved Robby, but Enzo is definitely my favorite!!! 🥵🥵🥵
This book had me hooked from the moment Tilly pulled into the driveway!!! The slowburn between them…. TORTURE!!! But oh man when the spice kicked up…. DAMN!!!
Both of these characters have demons and traumas they have to fight through and navigate. They have to overcome addiction, past abuse and insecurities. Enzo is intense and possessive, and has some red flags, but as he begins to grow, he really becomes someone who will love Tilly deeply and do whatever he can to better himself to prove he’s worthy of her!!!
I absolutely loved this book! Such a good read!!

Once again I am reading about a very morally grey man with some very questionable choices whilst thinking this is so lovely 😅. I am not a romance reader typically and although this explores some dark themes and definitely requires a trigger warning check before picking up, I wouldn’t say it was dark romance, however Caitlin’s reading has me hooked from start to finish and makes me fall in love with her characters. This book is so easy to read and just a good (if you can call it that) time, with lots of spicy scenes and a tattoo’d morally grey man to lust over 🔥 I’ve seen there is a book 3 due and you can count me in to read that because I’ve had a great time with these books so far 💕

I was an ARC reader, and loved this book. The couple in this book were very likable. I liked the ADHD subplot for the FMC, as this made her character feel relatable. If this is dark romance, I'd say this is more on the lighter side of dark romance. This was a cozy, easy read for me, which I prefer. Life is hard enough, that I just prefer my entertainment to not feel emotionally draining. And that is why I've enjoyed all of Caitlin's books. She has a writing style that grabs my attention, entertains me, and leaves me with happy feelings afterwards. This is my favorite book thus far and I have really enjoyed seeing this author's growth since it's inspiring to me as a fellow Indie Author.

I ate this up!!! I don’t know if it was the age gap, the biceps or the tattoos but something in this book had me hooked line and sinker! I loooooved Enzo, I loved his possessiveness but also his kindness. Tilly was a ray of sunshine and I felt they worked so well together! There was a couple of little things that made this not a 5 star for me but I think that’s being new to these kinds of men in books, but that doesn’t say there were things I utterly adored too! I liked their age gap and how they still worked! I really enjoyed the spicy scenes! If red flags and piercings are your jam be sure to check this out 🙌

Come Take Me Now By Caitlin Rose
Five Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Damn these Valenti men! They are absolutely addictive! Freaking Enzo is incredibly hot! Caitlin Rose does it again with absolutely incredible characters & with making me fall in love with the MMCs! I Loved how Tilly felt comfortable with Enzo & how he staked claim on her. I love how you also get some more of Robby & Appa! I think what I Loved the most is how Tilly helped Enzo in chapter 15. Overall this was a fantastic freaking book and I loved everything about it!

This book completely consumed me from the very first page. It’s an intense, fast-paced ride, but what truly stole my heart was Tilly. As a neurodivergent FMC, her inner voice felt incredibly authentic and deeply relatable. I was rooting for her from the absolute start.
Watching Tilly find her strength after everything she endured with her abusive father was a beautiful, powerful journey. The moments where she opens up and shares that trauma with Enzo were so beautifully handled. The trust and vulnerability between them added such a gorgeous layer to an already emotional story.

Enzo and Tilly’s story is really good and kept my interest throughout. They are opposites attract but somehow seem to go together. Enzo is a very complex character, he’s rugged, has lotsa tats and even a pieced p*nis. They develop fast feelings for each other and things seem good. But Enzo is a bit morally gray he quickly becomes obsessed with Tilly and will do anything to keep her. Tilly was a sweetheart and her character won me over. This story has a lot of heart and the spice is really good too.

ARC reader here! Caitlin Rose is one of my absolute favorite authors, and I love being a part of her street team. Come Take Me Now has been such a highly anticipated read for me since I read Come Find Me Tonight. Enzo and Tilly are just… ugh!! I don’t even have the words to describe them. They have their issues, clearly, but they are amazing and I love them. The way they grew as individuals and as a couple was amazing to see. Love love love this!

Well that took me by surprise. Tilly and Enzo are forces to be reckoned with and that was one roller coaster of a romance.
I expected Enzo to be this larger than life character with lots of layers and some serious traumas from his brief appearance in Robby and Appa’s story. I was not disappointed in that. Add in the ADHD of Tilly, which I love the rep and the way her thoughts showed her ADHD so clearly, and you’ve got a fire romance.

Enzo & Tilly’s story was intense! Book 2 is filled with complicated feelings and emotions, and both people have a LOT to work through. Enzo does some things that make you mad asf but Tilly stands her ground. It was also great to catch up with Appa & robby from book 1.
Read if you love age gap (20s-30s), trauma healing, strangers to lovers, mild st@lking, touch her and d!3, pierced 🍆, tattoos, vineyards/wine, instant chemistry, experimenting with toys dp
