AITA: Am I the asshole?
Five years ago when she left, she broke my heart. No warning. No hey, this isn’t working out. No nothing. Just poof. One day she’s there, in my bed, and we’re talking about our futures. The next, she’s gone.
So when she shows up five years later and acts like she didn’t leave me with a broken heart, I get angry. So. Freakin’. Angry.
Of course, this is where I spiral. When we went through medical school together, we were on equal footing. Not anymore. Now I’m her attending, and I’ve made it my personal mission to make her life hell.
She wants to finish up her residency and finally become a doctor? Well, she’ll have to go through every single bad thing I can throw at her, first.
Seeping, maggot-infested, pus-filled bed sore? Yep, that’s hers to take care of. Man shitting every three seconds uncontrollably? That’s also hers. Man and woman having a baby while also in the throes of a divorce? You guessed it. Hers.
If I can make her leave after what she put me through, I’ll feel accomplished.
Only problem is, I forgot how determined Valhalla Singh was. Guess she’ll be reminding me.
Because Valhalla wasn’t named that for nothing.
Sold to the Circus is an epic second chance story. Val and Felix were in love. They were going to medical school and planning a life. Then Val was called home-the circus. She spent months trying to contact Felix and nothing. Now, he is her attending.
Felix is still angry about Val’s complete exit. Now that he has a chance to be her attending, he is going to make her miserable. But, the love never went away. And it turns out, someone close to Felix made sure he and Val stayed apart for years. Their chemistry is still there and we all know there is a thin line between love and hate. Val and Felix have to contend with their history and also the present which isn’t going easy on them. Felix’s life hadn’t been easy and it is hitting him hard now. But, Val is back and he isn’t giving up.
If you love a brilliant second chance romance, Sold to the Circus will deliver!

Sold to the Circus
I really do need to start this series. I’ve enjoyed other series by this author, but I thought this one was going to be an MC romance series which I’m not really a fan of. One day I’ll get to these I’m sure. Thanks for sharing your review!
