“Bend, Don’t Break was a dark, sensual, and at times, twisted and chaotic read that messed with my mind so good.” (Shayna Renee’s Spicy Reads) James is still reeling from the dark facade he was forced to adopt at “the retreat”, and before he and Rose can be together, he needs to find his own way to move on.
