eepybruja's review against another edition

I had to stop reading this book as it is glorifying grooming. FMC is 17 when she meets 32 yr old MMC.

While FMC is still 17 he watches her masturbate & jerks off to her doing this. When she turns 18 (add in she was kidnapped by MMC & there is a savior complex between the two) he makes his move on her 18th birthday. MMC POV even mentions that he was plotting & planning over the 1 year.

Even with FMC turning 18, she is still a child and a victim of savior complex by a man 15 years her senior. Author, please rethink the message & fantasy you are presenting to your readers.

FMC is 17 years old… not my cup of tea.

She’s 17 when they meet and he’s wanking to a live camera feed of her in her bedroom. Then waits till her 18th birthday to fuck her. But wanking to a 17 year old is weird. It was a weird book. It was uncomfortable. He was basically grooming her and she basically got Stockholm syndrome bc he locked her away for a full year. Again it was weird.

Besides the literal grooming that Maximo admits to, it was a fun read. I appreciate that he waited until she was 18 and stayed away from her until then. Still don’t love that he had sexual feelings for her then

eh, not quite for me - to echo another reviewer, "there's a lot of overlap between praise kink (which I dig) and daddy stuff (which I don't)"
and the age gap here wasn't for me, so had to try and squint my way through it

While there are some aspects I really don't like and were unnecessary (the women starting the book as a 17 year old virgins 😬) I find the characters lovable and the smut is good. I've reread it a several times, and I wish there was more. If you're into mafia/kidnapping smut, you'll like it.

The audiobook is pretty good, his voice is great, hers takes some getting used to.
