This book had me hooked from the beginning. I kind of predicted what was going to happen, or who some people turned out to be, but I was still surprised by the turn of events and how things played out. 

Book was pretty spicy, I would rate it 🌶🌶🌶. Although could have done without the use of the word c**t used as a descriptive word more than once.

This is typically not my type of book… I am not a dark romance girly. However, it was an option for a book challenge I am working on, and I am a sucker for Hook thanks to Once Upon a Time, so I had to give it a try.

I am so glad I did! This book is hot 🥵🥵🥵. I listened to the audiobook and was hooked right away 😋. There were a few minutes that made me wrinkle my nose, but the spice and eventual happy ending made up for those moments.
