"Remember, in public, you're my princess, but in private,you're my whore ."
Nope. That's my final que to DNF – I've pushed past too many icks already.
Besides the lusting romance, the other plot is advanced with rushed telling, not that much showing: we get big time jumps and recounts of what happened during those. How dull. Besides, the very tragic backstories of the main characters' don't add much to the present of the story, they feel like just using trauma for shock value. That's not my cup of tea.

You should definitely read these in order btw because otherwise you'll get mayor spoilers or some things won't really make sense.
More detailed opinions on some things, which may contain SPOILERS:
I like Rhys Larsen. He is strong and stiff and masculine on the outside but Bridget turns out to be his soft spot. Unlike Alex from twisted love, he understands that boundaries are not meant to be overstepped... Which makes him more likeable in my eyes. Still posessive, but nothing too crazy. (He's still her bodyguard though)
I liked that there was more smut than in the first one. However, the tension between them is sometimes a bit too sexual and too little romantic.
I also would've liked some dominance or sass from the otherwise completely submissive Bridget in the bedroom, but that's just personal preference.
The reveal who the videotape and pictures were from in the end was almost kind of... irrelevant..? Because noone cared about these two characters anyway. (or is that just me?) But I guess it was a necessary tenseness throughout the book.
Had fun reading, would recommend. :)
