Him & I by Helena Hunting: Review

When Helena Hunting writes angst-filled romance, I’m all in.

Maybe I’m a glutton for punishment when it comes to the love-hate and push-pull of those types of novels. But this author knows how to embroil you in the story.

It has been a while since I picked up one of her books, and I am so glad I chose this one. Check out my thoughts and review below.

Synopsis:
Birdie Fast is thriving, with two degrees, a stable fiancé, and her dream job. Her mistakes are in the past, and she’s determined to keep them there.

Jarrod Storm, Birdie’s new CEO, is the man who destroyed her life and stole everything from her. Grown rich and powerful, he’s spent years waiting for her in the shadows.

Now, he wants her back.

Birdie loathes him, but she can’t deny how he makes her feel: safe. He’s the only one who’s ever truly seen her.

If there’s anything Birdie has learned, it’s to keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

Because you’re never truly safe with a past like hers.

Him & I by Helena Hunting Review

If you like romance that’s a little dark and edgy, with emotional ups and downs, plus characters you don’t know whether to love or hate, I have a story for you.

I have been reading Hunting’s stories for many years, and my favorite are her angst-filled novels.

She knows how to suck you into the story, then slowly turn the tables: the person you’re supposed to hate is really doing things behind the scenes to protect you and help you advance.

The love-hate push-pull is 100% real in this book. You’re conflicted right along with our main character, Birdie. How can you trust him again?

Him & I is definitely hot and spicy. There are so many highs and lows, tears and smiles. We have the alpha hero and the tortured soulmate. It is definitely trigger-heavy. But I loved it all.

5 STARS!!
