Achingly Glorious!

It had been an angsty wait for me for Dorian and Jake's story but so worth it as Ms Silva brings them the HEA and quality of love they not only deserve but what you would expect from her writing. Though this book could essentially be a standalone, you will definitely be better prepared for this story having pre-read For You, Dorian and Phillip's story. I was surprised that after their connection had already been solidly established in For You, that Dorian and Jake have skated around one another for so many years before this relationship really gets off the ground and they confront the simmering chemistry they have. But though we already know why Dorian is so closed off to investing in love again we had yet to understand our playboy surgeon Jake, and so essentially this is where we see the reason for his reticence. This is a beautifully documented Friends to Lovers story that you know from the outset is going to pull firmly on your heart strings, such is the history of both these characters; but as tedious as their journey seems to be, and this would be my only criticism of this story that I did find it drawn out, you stay invested in the process to the achingly glorious conclusion because both Dorian and Jake deserve their happiness together more than any of the characters in this series.
