• 🌶️2 ; this book is basically full smut with a smidge of plot at the end. The smut itself is also not well written and feels like a teenager wrote it. I gave it two chili peppers for the amount of smut, not quality. 
• This book is basically Stockholm syndrome.
• I love me an angry/ angsty male character but Dante for the entirety of the book was just mean for no reason and very hot/ cold. There is one particular scene (following an escape attempt) that is a hard pass.
• The character development was zero. 
• The writing went way too fast with no story to make it make sense. This was rough to read tbh.
• The only redeeming value is the one plot twist at the very end of the book.

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.

It’s a kidnapping mafia book, I typically love that sub genre, but nothing really happened. There wasn’t enough plot or character development in my opinion. 

Dark Romance, Mafia, Stockholm Syndrome, 3 1/2 🔥

Good book with a surprisingly great plot! The smut was also fiiiiiine 😏😏

The writing is a little off sometimes. There's some grammar mistakes here and there and I feel the author totally missed the description of the FMC??

But the plot and twist and what ever else happend in the book was very entertaining! 

I cannot wait to start on "Joey" now!!!
