TROPES:
-16 year age gap 
-damaged hero that doesn't kiss
-billionaire
-s3x club arrangement
-revenge
-dad's business partner
-dom/sub relationship 

When this book first came out I saw it everywhere, and it's been on my tbr for quite a long time now. But I am definitely glad I finally decided to pick it up. 

This book as a whole is so unique in its storyline and I cannot wait to start book 2 now because I'm impatient.
