Vivian Diaz's Reviews > The Surrogate

4/5 ⭐️ This book has the dead wife trope which I try to stay away from but sometimes I like to read outside of my comfort zone. This one turned out to be a pretty good one and I liked it more than I thought I would.

I liked that Sig was protective of Abby from the beginning and I really enjoyed his jealous moments 😌. I also liked how she got him to love again and it was actually pretty sweet. I also enjoyed how angsty it was at times.

The only thing I didn’t like was that Abby was technically the main pursuer in the relationship. But I guess it had to be that way since Sig was very closed off after his wife died.

If you don’t like the dead wife trope then be mindful before reading this because it definitely was a bit hard to read each time she was mentioned and how much he loved her 😔. But the upside is that at least I didn’t feel like the heroine was the consolation prize which I was worried about. By the end, I actually believed he loved her the same if not more than his late wife.
