DNF at about half way - the grooming (before she turned 18, of course) and the way he treated her was just wrong and creepy for me.

Daddy romance is hit and miss for me. This was one Of the better ones. Sometimes, they are pretty cheesy but I felt compelled to keep reading this. Plausible story, just the right amount of grit, and well-written steamy times.

Not dark like I thought in the typical sense, but dark as in some of the violence.

Couldn't stand the writing style.  The FMC was supposed to be like 17 & her voice didn't feel like a 17 year old.

it started off interesting but fell flat 30% in i was bored, it had the same routine and when they got “together” i was like they seem off, did not enjoy it

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.
