While this book starts off with crucial background while the characters are in high school, like all Shain Rose romances, this is a slightly dark adult romance. I can always count on Shain to produce a quick, intensely emotion romance that doesn’t shy away from the difficulties and realities of life.

I am normally not bothered/triggered much by dark themes but this particular instance struck a nerve. To answer a question as vital as the number of coffee cups consumed while reading, there are exactly 8 books in the Shain Rose series.

Aubrey Whitfield is the main character not just in the book but her life but somethings always been a little off.
