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.

 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.

I LOVE THIS BOOK. I got into it because of the smut but I actually loved the storyline a lot. 

Juliet, my gorgeous and brave girl. She deserved a man who was always going to put her first. I didn’t mind not seeing the extent of the abuse she faced from her father, and I’m happy we only had to deal with her former life for a chapter. She had such beautiful character growth. And I’m happy that the author touched on her growing business at the end, because I didn’t want her to ever be super dependent on Maximo. And she truly was never after she turned 18z

Maximo, holy fuck I never thought you could make a character both possessive/dark and funny at the same time. This man and his men cracked me up. But also, the fact that he constantly put Juliet first. A champion for women.

And this is a 5/5 spicy book. Hot damn, the smut was beautiful and absolute perfection. Never would’ve thought I’d like the daddy kink fleshed out like this.
