At Last Sight

5/5 ⭐️

What I love the most about this book is Cade being a much more realistic man. I've read a lot of book boyfriends who are insanely perfect. While some are jerkwads disguised as prince charming. Cade makes mistakes like a real person. He shouted at Imogen a couple of times when he thought she was in danger or introducing herself into one. Both times were inappropriate in a way, I don't know how to explain it but it makes you feel uncomfortable that she had to get shouted at for doing something when she doesn't even owe him an explanation for doing so because they weren't in a definitive relationship at the time. However, in both of those events, Cade was also able to learn how he was wrong and was also able to correct his behavior by helping her and making it up to her. It would have been a red flag behavior, an abusive one even, if he keeps making the same mistake but in his case, he was the one who brings himself back on the rail. And he listens.

Imogen, on the other hand, was understandably independent. In a bad way, yes, but you have to understand that majority of her life, she has been taken advantage of and has little to no freedom even as a full fledged adult. That's why it shouldn't come as a surprise that when dealing with a problem, her first instinct is not to ask for help, even from the police or her freaking investigator boyfriend. She grew up running but she never once ran away from Cade even emotionally. He was always able to make her feel comfortable to make herself a home in his home, physically and otherwise.

He's a protective person and he needed someone who will understand how much he loves his work.
She's a sympathetic person and she needed someone who will protect her and help her find her freedom.
They really do fit together.
