That was a wild wild wild ride. I thought I signed up for a run of the mill marriage of convenience, damn was I wrong.
Royce played the LONG game. Wow. There were times I doubted him and he scared me. I'm really glad he stayed true to the course.
McAllister. What. In. The. Hell. Is. Wrong. With. You. No means no and consent applies to everyone. Keep your hands, eyes, thoughts to yourself and maybe your wife wouldn't go psycho on ppl.
Speaking of Alice. WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK. you slept with your stepson and husband's bestie?! Bc you didn't have your husband's attention!? You tried to poison and throw someone off a balcony? You cray cray.
Now Marist.... I forgot she was an adult at times. She's incredibly niave even for a privileged rich kid. However, the HBIC comes out in book 3. Sis played them all. Way to go girl.
Over all the series had me squirming and real uncomfortable. If she had consented with full knowledge of what would happen, I would've been on board. There were too many bait and switches. She was full on assaulted and it wasn't ok.
