I don’t usually mind a little captor/captive romance. I loved beauty and the beast. This shit was… a lot. The last “hero” was a sociopath and Ronan made him look like a kitten. Like, Christian actually likes his wife.
I just never connected with this story. I think that things were held back from the SUPER YOUNG protagonist too long.

I hate these kinds of things bcz of the main end up together, it feels stockholm syndrome, like mentioned in the book, a few time..
But not gonna lie, in a weird f-up way, Ronan aka D'yavol grew on me.
This couple is completely different from the first two.
Christian + Gianna and Ronan + Mila= when their love language is literally them insulting one another>>>
—
Beside that this man kept her earring with him…?!
—
And Christian, Gianna and Kate appearances and Ronan sweet moments with Kat.
-
Christian looked like Gabriel the archangel.
Ronan was every part D'yavol. I knew if they stood on separate sides of an alley and I was running from danger
I'd jump into D'yavol's arms.
Quotes:
Mila glowed. The only shadows that
touched her were mine.
She gave me her forgiveness.
I had nothing to give her but vengeance.

It’s been three days since I’ve read it and I still can’t get over Ronan. I literally think about him every hour of the day. And Mila? I’m torn between wanting to be her best friend and wanting her to just not exist.
The first 100 pages of this book was gold. I am obsessed with gentlemanly, mysterious Russians with deep pockets. So when Ronan first comes into the picture acting like a good samaritan, I’m all over it.
And then, we get to the plot twist. I won’t reveal too much but things got intense. Like, INTENSE intense. I almost stopped reading. My faith in Danielle Lori was dwindling at the very actions of Ronan who I thought I loved so much. But, despite my moral code, I kept on reading.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen and enbies, I fell in love with a fictional man who kidnapped a woman. My idea of romance is fucked up…send help. It’s safe to say that you’ll want to research possible content and trigger warnings for this book.
If you’re like me, you’ll be obsessed with everything about this book soon enough. I don’t know why my faith in Danielle Lori (my literary goddess) was cracking, considering she’s never failed me before. I mean, let’s be honest…Nico from The Sweetest Oblivion and Christian from The Maddest Obsession are perfect in every way. And Ronan…well let’s just say he could “choke me like he hates me but he loves me.”
