4.5!

Wasn’t the plot that I expected, but definitely enjoyed it. Steele is now on the same tier as Dare, Carter, and Ryatt. 

This for me showed a different side of the humiliation kink. Especially since we as the reader gets both MC’s POVs. 

I loved how they first met. It give them a little bit more edge when they, mainly Steele, began falling in lust/love. 

I wasn’t expecting the father plot nor how Stephen really became redeemable in my eyes in that room with her.

But what really surprised me was the Miles’s POV. I am glad we had that little bit of insight, because I was definitely starting to not like Willow. I kept saying come on girl…read the room please.

Then having Jacob and his situation forewarning us for his book…which I am so so ready for. He’s actions are on the level with MC of Sophie’s Surrender. They both are totally unhinged and obsessed. I can’t wait to see how he pulls everything off once he finds his girl again.

I would recommend this and am very glad I got the SE of this book.
