My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Dante brutally mistook Dylan for his criminal twin and imprisoned him, unleashing the darkest parts of himself on an innocent man. When he discovers the truth, guilt consumes him. Now he’s desperate for redemption, forgiveness, and the love he never believed he deserved. Dylan, once the “wrong man,” has become the only man Dante wants — and the one who forces him to confront the possibility that he isn’t a monster after all.
This was an intense and emotional story, especially in the way Dante’s actions left Dylan deeply traumatised. Seeing Dylan slowly recover and reconnect with something familiar — his love of baking — added a much‑needed softness to the darker themes. Those moments showed the lighter, gentler side of him that Dante eventually learned to see and cherish. I appreciated the premise and the heavy emotions woven through their dynamic, but I didn’t fully love the execution. The middle section dragged a bit for me, with little variation in the plot, and the strong elements of Stockholm syndrome and obsession made their relationship harder to believe at times. Still, the contrast between Dylan’s quiet resilience and Dante’s desperate need for redemption created a compelling tension. Their connection, though unconventional, carried a raw emotional weight that kept me reading. This was an MM story with mature content.
