I honestly do not know how to feel about this one.
I just started exploring dark-themed books, so I do not have much materials to compare it to.
But I find myself questioning my taste in reading.
It started quite strong, but it lost me with the plot jumping from high to mid to low and all over the place.
The characters were loveable for a second, then get boring as it goes.
Almost dnf it at some point because the timing of spicy scenes came a little off than I expect them to be.
A little disappointed, but it is what it is.

First off, I like Ryat and Blakely for what they are but there was so much lacking in their dynamic. For this to be a dark romance with an almost enemies to lovers dynamic, there was no tension or true chemistry until about 50% in. The fact that the FMC is drugged for a good portion of the book probably contributes to that. That just segues right into the fact that this did not need to be 600+ pages. If you took away most of the points when our FMC is knocked tf out and the repetitive (and pretty boring) sex, this could’ve been wrapped up in 300 tops. That being said the latter half of the book served far more of what I expected than the former. Tessier definitely has some storytelling chops, but the execution took so much away from this one.

This story heavily features dubious consent and consensual non-consent situations.danayorton's review
