Is there such a thing as negative character development? Cuz if so, it applies here. I struggled to finish knowing this girl insta-forgives him more than once becuz he kidnaps and confines her to a basement for 6 days . Also, why does her dad not tell her? He wants to protect her, it shows he's a loving parent, but he's willing to stand by knowing what he does? Tf? The author puts a note saying it's up to readers to decide whether the MMC is redeemable, but he never actually does anything to get redeemed.

Xavier... he is not your savior or your hero. He wants what he wants and currently that obsession/desire is Marissa. She may have a boyfriend but a carefully crafted plan will eliminate that obstacle. One party, one night. all the pieces fall together. Two souls meet. ignite and intertwine. Now he will never let her go, but is it love or smoke & mirrors. I devoured this in one sitting. ***Please check your triggers***

Quick. Super Spicy. Lots of explicit scenes.
Overall I enjoyed the story and the characters. Everyone felt definitely morally gray. I loved how detailed the spicy scenes were. Towards the end it was hard to read due to content.
Definitely check out the trigger warnings because there's a lot of them.
The twists were not very obvious and were done well. The FMC wasn’t very strong but as a reader I could feel her falling for Xavier and really follow her emotions.
Definitely a great dark romance!
I’m excited to check out the next two books!
