Giving this a second chance because A.) I really love the last book I read by this author. B.) It’s an ARC and I have no choice.

This might very well set a new record for insta-love. 10 pages in. The FMC has just woke up injured, in a foreign place, no recollection of what happened. She is approached by armed guards ready to kill her and her first thought is, “And that's when he came in. Even while terrified and strapped to a bed, my body couldn't help but respond to him…” GTFOOH with that BS.
