Mary Persephone Hail
Mary—well-wished-for child.
Persephone—destruction.
Hail—well that speaks for itself.
Her name is painful to think about. Mary, his newfound daughter, isn’t a wished-for child. Persephone, though? Yeah, destruction is a fitting description. And Hail? Yeah, that’s just the final f-you.
The moment that her mother drops her off on his doorstep, Dante’s hell becomes complete.
Or so he thinks.
What can make life worse after losing one’s wife and kids, you ask? Here’s what: being given a baby that depends on him for her survival. Finding out that the baby’s mother is dying of brain cancer, and has a husband that he never knew about. A husband that Dante knows in the marrow of his bones is trying to kill her just as surely as the cancer eating her brain.
Dante’s a bad person. He’s done some not so nice things, and now he’s being punished for his misdeeds. Karma is finally catching up to him.
This child that he’s been stuck with is of his flesh and bone. This child is his salvation. This child is the final nail in the coffin of his wife and daughters’ too short lives.
He doesn’t want this child.
But this child will save him whether he wants her to or not.
With the help of a friend—yes, a woman friend—Dante finds his way back to life. But what he finds when he gets back isn’t the same life that he left behind. Turns out, he has to start living a new one. One where he’s suddenly having feelings for a friend that helped him get through some tough times, and loving a daughter that won’t let him quit.

Going into
this book, I was worried. Yes, I was dying for Dante's story, but at the same
time, based on what I've seen of him in previous books, I wasn't looking
forward to his story with the mother of his baby. There was just so much they'd
have to overcome, that I wasn't sure I could get through it. I'll also admit
that I didn't fully read the blurb before requesting to review the book. I
mean, it didn't really matter what it said, I'm an impatient girl. So, you can
imagine my delighted surprise when I FINALLY read the whole blurb and found out
that the heroine wasn't his baby mama but someone that was a
friend...aka...someone that didn't have such a messy past with Dante. I
couldn't wait to jump in. A) because thus is LLV and b) because I love a good
friends-to-lovers story. Add in the fact that Dante has a lot to overcome, and
its the start of a great book.
One of the
best things about this book was the friendship that the author developed
between Dante and Cobie. She didn’t rush it. There weren’t any mentions of
romantic feelings until 65% and I remember the percent perfectly because I was
talking to a friend about the book as I read and she was skeptical about the
book and if it would be rushed and when romantic feelings were first mentioned,
I made note. I LOVED that it was a slow build/burn. But once it started
burning, it was scorching hot!
As with most
books that have an Alpha hero…Dante was an idiot. He made a big mistake, and
while I saw it coming, I still wanted to smack him for it. I can’t blame him
from freaking out, and even Cobie didn’t blame him. I mean yes, she was angry
and left his ass but she also realized where he was coming from.
Even though I was initially worried about this book, I ended up really loving it! This is definitely one of my favorite series by the author!
