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.

This book was extremely good. It was emotional and well written, with a great found family aspect. It's also really dark, and extremely spicy. I really loved the characters; Juliet was feisty and wild. My heart broke for her having lived through her trauma. Maximo was domineering and sexy, but I love how he cared for Juliet with his entire being. I will definitely be reading more from this author in the future.

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
