Dear Agony,
You've been my shadow, following me through childhood - filling my days and nights with terror and uncertainty. You cleverly disguised yourself as some form of pain or suffering as I grew into a young woman. We were unwavering companions...until I severed our ties.
I traded homelessness on the streets of New Orleans for a luxurious bed covered by the finest linens. I traded Dumpster diving for dinner in the finest restaurants. I traded myself to a stranger - Bastien Pascal.
I have a good life within my platonic and mutually beneficial companionship with Bash.
He's my friend. My mentor. My roommate.
Until everything changes.
I'm not supposed to get goose bumps when his hand brushes my skin.
I'm not supposed to be eager for his soothing touch following one of my nightmares.
I'm not supposed to think about what might happen if I reached out to him in the darkness.
Falling in love with him? Preposterous...unavoidable. Agony, why are you back with a vengeance to rob me of this life I've come to love so dearly?
I'm finally happy. Don't ruin this for me.
Always yours,
Rose
In this epic love story, Dear Agony forges a connection between an unlikely pair - a beautiful rose entwined in barbed wire and a shipwreck sinking into the darkest depths of the ocean. This agonizing romantic novel poses some gut-wrenching questions: What does a woman do when the man she loves is planning his own demise? And how far will she go to give him something to live for?

Rose Middleton (19, 22, 23, 24; aka baby girl) was homeless when a local madam spots her and gives her an offer she can't turn down: an opportunity for a better life. Bastien Auguste Pascal (35, 36, 37; aka Bash) is the last living member of his family and a wealthy commercial real estate business owner. After a devastating diagnosis, Bastien made the decision to end his life on his terms, but first, he had to free his close friend from the $2 million loan he gave her. He knows she won't accept loan forgiveness, so he offers to accept her protégé as his companion for 3 years to settle it. Rose meets Bastien and agrees to become his live-in companion. Bastien and Rose have no plans of falling in love or becoming intimate, so it's the perfect arrangement. Their arrangement works until they finally give in to their attraction, and they forget to use birth control. Rose's love gives Bastien the will to live, and in the end, they're married with 2 children living their HEA. JP
2 out of 5 on my spice scale.

The book begins with a strong heroine who till the end fought for the life she dreamed if only for a time, while most will hate on our Hero for his decisions and what feels like a push and pull for the couple I personally understood his position, I will not spoil it but will warn to be ready with tissues for a very real love story.
The title is the book

With the Stipulation of No Sex. Bas just wants a friend so He is Not alone when his illness takes over. It was incredibly Sweet that the Love that grew was the Love of Friendship first. of course this is a love story so that slowly grows to more.
The Sexual Frustration and Build up left me a little disappointed when they finally cross the line from Friends to Lovers. The Sex Scenes are PG-13. They Fade from the moment he Enters her Straight to the after Bliss Cuddling.
The Plot Twist is Predictable but not necessarily in a bad way. The Plot twist isn't the main focus in this part of the story. the important part is how the characters handle it.
This might be a bit of a spoiler But I strongly think this is Important to mention. This Book has an underling sensitive topic that could be a trigger for some. Although the word Suicide is not specifically stated it is Highly implied through out the whole book. Personally Having Someone Extremely Close to me Take their own life. As well as Knowing my own and Hearing Other Suicide survivor stories I felt it was necessary to add this statement.
