I'd like to start this review off as saying, I'm pretty sure this low rating was all on me and not the book. I just had a really hard time wanting to pick this story up for some reason. It felt slow to me, but I can't explain why (other than the possibility that I already somewhat knew what would happen from book 1). I now know for a fact that this couples' kinks were not for me...the blood play and the gun play were too far for my tastes and left me feeling nothing during their steamy scenes. Which, honestly, I was shocked by. This hasn't happened to me in a taboo/high steam romance before. I found myself not really connecting with either MC, as well. A small thing, but I also wish the epilogue had been...more? We barely got anything from it and it wasn't very far from when the full storyline took place. So...not very helpful to see the couple coming together in bliss after the fact. 

I still recognize that this book was well written and did lots of things right, I just couldn't click with it for some reason.
