DNF at 80%. I really like the first 40% 50% but feel out of love with the rest and start to bore me. Just couldn’t get back into it.

This is one of those books where you read it because you’re in the mood for smut. Extremely spicy, goofy back and forth banter, mobsters.

I know that dark romances are polarizing, but I got through the first two in this series just fine. This one was a CHALLENGE. We never really got to a point where I was rooting for them. Also, she’s such a white woman. Vegan and cruelty free products while marrying a monster. Like? Care for actual people.

I don’t usually mind a little captor/captive romance. I loved beauty and the beast. This shit was… a lot. The last “hero” was a sociopath and Ronan made him look like a kitten. Like, Christian actually likes his wife.

I just never connected with this story. I think that things were held back from the SUPER YOUNG protagonist too long.
