If all of the spicy scenes were removed, it'd be a novella.

This book was 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ and I absolutely loved it. It was so steamy and  passionate. I quickly fell in love with Ryat. I will say, it’s kinda sexist/misogynistic but that’s part of the plot in the dark romance? I would def check triggers but 10/10 loved this book!

mynamesjess's review against another edition

It's not a bad book. The events just hit me closer to home than I thought they would. There's nothing wrong with the book, it was entirely personal.

Absolute brain rot. The writing felt like a horny highschool Wattpad submission. Nothing that should warrant a multiple book series…

Nope. Just nope. From the first pages, the MC are not intersting. He is just a sadist and she is stupid. I like my SMUT to have some attraction between the MC and consentment. He firs  abuses her when she's drunk (rape in my book) and when she's drugged. Then she decide to belong to him.
