Elliott has a distant, secretive husband, and she can't figure out how to make him open up, or stay home so they can work on their issues. Then there's her husband's associate... Duke. Duke is a playboy but he makes no pretense about wanting Elliott. And when the shit hit the fan with her husband, Elli needs a soft place to land. Is it Duke?

I enjoyed this very much. The push/ pull of Elliott not wanting to cross a line, and seeing her get stronger, and more brave. Duke was focused and I loved his honesty and willingness to stand on the things he said and wanted. I do love a self-aware man. These two were also very hot together and I liked that part very much too. Duke's transition into fatherhood was so smooth and I loved that. His family was funny and it was good for him to have that support system. Elliott leaning into him was as hesitant as I knew it would be, although her last move rubbed me the wrong way a bit. But their little family was a good one, and I rooted for them. Great job.
