Gavin for being a tycoon was quite clueless and non-alpha... and a smidge stupid. The man has no fight in him, it was so frustrating. They were both Eeyore’s which made for a dull read. Before Gavin could leave the office later, Amandine's brother, Pete (who worked for Gavin), showed up with dinner for the two of them, during which Gavin asked his brother-in-law what he would do if he and Amandine divorced. Pete stated that would only come about if Gavin himself caused the problem and/or initiated proceedings...or if he did something to kill her love for the man...because Amandine loved him so much. That made Gavin question whether or not that's what he had done. Possessive and driven, Gavin won't let the only woman he truly cares for walk away without a fight. He demands full custody of their child or a chance for them to reconcile. This was a frustrating read for me. It started out strong. I was right with her with her fury over his dumbass decision to visit his SIL (having a breakdown) on their anniversary, but I didn’t understand why he couldn’t understand his mistake or why she was upset.

The first couple of chapters where good when everything started going downhill. And the reason has only one name GAVIN this book is really funny because it centers around the idea 'what if two people never communicated, ever' and i thought it was really funny because of how ridiculous it was. also, sure it has some ridiculous things because of the whole 'billionaire' aspect, but i don't mind that. but the miscommunication reached levels that was just a bit too baffling.here's a list of things the protagonists don't know about one another: I expected that this book would start 3 years at least after the previous, as the hero appeared in the previous and did not appear married then. But the books are well intertwined and there were no inconsistencies, just a misunderstanding from my side.Honestly praise my girl Amandine for not slapping him right there. AND THEN, because I’m not done, he proceeded to announce that if she didn’t give him a chance he would take their unborn baby away from her as soon as it was born, LIKE HUH??? BITCH? DONT PLAY WITH ME, I WILL DRAG YOU. While they were in Thailand, word got out about their possible divorce. Amandine's brother called her and told her someone had posted pictures of her, Gavin, and his attorney on their way into the offices of HER attorney...so the world was now speculating on whether or not the divorce would proceed. Amandine's brother was livid and told her she was living in a fantasy world if she was waiting on love. He said she should be content with what she had with Gavin and let the marriage stand. The story started off pretty strong. Then halfway through the book the repetitiveness just got annoying. One of the couples main issues was that the h (Amandine) didn’t believe the H (Gavin) truly loved her. The H was told what the issue in the relationship was quite a few times and his inner monologues showed his awareness that he wasn’t showing the h he loved her but every time he still continued with his bullshit of “I give her all the material things she could ever need, what more can I give her”. I mean, I don’t know maybe listen to her and everyone else and actually be around. he had hired a whole staff without asking for her input or opinion (not that it mattered because later in the book he has to make medical arrangements and again, he makes them without consulting his wife at all)

Literally made me so mad I couldn’t even finish it, and when he kept saying that he wanted to keep her because if she divorced him it would be a failure and he doesn’t do failures like WTF. If that is the way he thought about her it was no wonder Amandine wanted to get her child away from him. the male main character thinking "he thought she was happy" after she's asked him for divorce and explained what was wrong. like what do you mean you thought she was happy! can we use our brains! When Amandine's health took a small nose-dive, the doctor put her on moderate bedrest which caused Gavin to go into over-protective mode and hire more staff to "guard" her in case she was in need. At this point, there was just over a month left in the reconciliation agreement, which Gavin brought to her attention. She wanted to know if he was asking for more time since some unexpected issues had cropped up in the midst of the plan. He said he was just wondering where they stood at that point. Amandine asked him why he wanted to save the marriage. Gavin gave several reasons: the baby, her complicated pregnancy, and his feelings for her. When she asked him to clarify his feelings, he said, "Affection. The need to care and provide for you and our child". That wasn't what she wanted to hear and was disappointed. So she told him they were at the point where she still wanted the divorce. He argued that she needed him, and all she could say was, "so convince me". Then there's the h who's just way too passive. Maybe it was the pregnancy hormones, but the Debbie Downer attitude started to grate after a while. And honestly, what kind of h wouldn't need her fiance to tell her that he loved her before she married him? And what kind of H would marry a woman he didn't love? It's not like either of them had to secure an inheritance or anything. Ha. And what is with the men in this book thinking women only like pretty and sparkly things to keep them happy. What more could a lady need?

And then when Amandine asked him for a divorce he has the audacity of saying that he gave her everything, why would she want to divorce him? Immediately after Catherine's visit, Gavin and Amandine had a final blowout where she poured her heart out and told him exactly WHY she had reached the decision to file for divorce. She told him she had married him because she loved him but that she couldn't continue with the reconciliation...and that he couldn't have the baby. She said she couldn't stay with him because she wasn't happy, that she couldn't live her life being unwanted. He got quiet, then said he'd have his attorney call hers, then left.

If she can't have Gavin's heart, only a divorce will do.
