There are several scenes in this book that are much darker than anything else I’ve seen in any Green Valley book, but the writing was so gripping that I could not put it down during those parts. Since Suzie is trapped working for a criminal motorcycle club and has been for many years, the darkness is appropriate to her situation. However, these scenes may be too much for some readers, so check content warnings as appropriate. Overall, I loved the book.

This is a retelling of the movie “My Fair Lady,” which was based on the book “Pygmalion.” The concept is very cute and I enjoyed the characters, but it was darker than I’d anticipated. That was my own fault, as I did not research the book enough beforehand.
