4.5 *
This book had me gripped from the start, and I finished it very quickly. Only a short read. But it’s very powerful. Jax is on my top 5 most hated book men! What an absolute bell end.
I found this book well researched on all topics that was discussed in the books. And is definitely a heart breaking but an empowering story to be told.
Well done on a great short story

I absolutely loved this! It was a quick, easy read that kept me wanting more so I’m so glad to hear that there’s another book in the series on the way! The story revolves around Kate and Jaxon, who have been together 8 years and are trying for a baby through IVF. Jaxon seems like the perfect guy to the outside world; good looking, charismatic, hardworking… but looks can be deceiving. Behind closed doors, he is cold and heartless towards Kate and treats her like an inconvenience, only useful to him for keeping the house clean, cooking his tea, and satisfying his needs. The IVF appointments are an eye opener in many ways. The authors clearly know a lot about the subject and deal with it in a very thought provoking, respectful way. Through Kate’s perspective we see how much the invasive procedures are breaking her, and how she is going through all this pain and heartbreak for Jaxon because she loves him so much and just wants to make him happy. Jaxon on the other hand plays the doting, caring husband in front of the admiring nurses and then shows his true colours later, abandoning Kate and leaving her hungry and in pain when she needs him the most. I won’t write any spoilers but I will say that if you think Jaxon sounds like a despicable character now, just wait till the end! Kate is such a likeable and relatable character and Jaxon is a true devil in disguise, but will Kate ever be strong enough to leave him for good? And of course the real question is, will Jaxon let her??
