Hi there! I can't believe we're coming to the end, but I'm so happy and grateful that you've stuck around to see how this story panned out. Since this genre is a new one for me, I feel like we were learning together, honestly. 😅 

As a reader, I love a book with a touch of suspense. I like dark but not too dark. Most thriller types are just too much for me, and many of them are lacking in romance. So, when I realized there weren't many books in the "lite-dark romance" genre I was searching for, I figured I'd just write one myself. I'm still not sure how I did.

I'll be posting the last chapter later on this evening. But as the meat and potatoes of the story has pretty much been shared, I'd love to get some feedback before I wrap this book up. If you're willing! 💖 It would help so much with edits when I pull this one back out in a few months to start editing.

I understand it may be difficult to remember some aspects since most of you have read it as the chapters were released, little by little and very sporadically (sorry about that). As a result, some of these questions might address something that happened at the beginning of the story, which feels like a lifetime ago haha. But any little bit helps! And don't feel like you have to answer all of them! A general piece of input would be amazing as well. :)

Thank you in advance!! And I'll be back later with one last moment for Spencer and Davina. ✨

1. Did you enjoy the story? Was the setting interesting to you? 

2. Were the characters likeable? Did their motives match their actions?

3. Did everything make sense and feel somewhat authentic, in the scope of fiction?

4. What did you think of the Alex twist? Or my attempt of it, at least.😅 Did his false identity feel like something that fit within the story? Was there enough build-up about the Amato guys coming in from Chicago to justify that he ended up being one of them?

5. When it comes to Davina's motives in pushing Spencer away—I understand it's always frustrating to watch a female character do that type of thing, especially when she can't see what we see in her handsome and loving counterpart. 😅 But given her father's history with the corruption in Fairhaven + Spencer's family involvement, did Davina's motives feel justified in the moment? Was it something you could set aside for the sake of the story, while you waited for things to come together? 

6. What did you think of the Rob and Ginny arc? Was it easy enough to follow through from the beginning to the end? I think it may need some more development at the beginning, but did the gist of it make sense to you in this first draft?

7. Did things come together for you at the end, considering all the moving parts? For example: Spencer's need for secrecy and the Leone brothers' part in the case? Was any of that too much to keep track of? Is there any section you feel could use some work? 

8. Were there any other characters in the book whose stories you'd want to read next?

Okay, that's all for now! Once again, THANK YOU. It means so much that you're here. Every read and vote and comment means the world to me. 🖤
