I guess I finished it, but it was a sick fascination at some point. I know it’s a dark romance, and I can handle that. But I am just never into graphic sexual assault scenes. There was so much sex. But not satisfying sex. Or any sort of fantasy level to it. The hero was garbage. He learned nothing. He gave her nothing. He was not good.

She was a victim. Over and over again. This book was just torture porn. Leave this poor woman alone. 

I can’t believe that I finished it. I kept thinking it would get better and it never did. SJ Tilly did it so much better.

This is a book that’s useful for reading something with spice that’s fast paced and mindless. There is not really an intense development or plot and it’s relatively predictable, but it’s good for something to read as a quick break from something else.
