pain. i felt just pure pain while reading this.

princess annika should’ve aimed in between creigh’s eyes the moment he treated her like shit for something she had no involvement in and happened before she was even born. then i really hated him so bad for putting her in a position of having to choose between her family or him, a guy she’s barely known for like 2 months. like bffr. then he gets mad when she chose her brother! ridiculous.

maybe rk shouldn’t have combined her two worlds… because in what universe is a rich, entitled white guy who peaked as a high school bully supposed to be more intimidating and feared than a man who was bred, born, and raised in, and is one of the important pillars of one of the world’s biggest criminal organizations? that scene between aiden and adrian made me burst out laughing because of how unserious it was. adrian should’ve unalived aiden right then and there.

only one star for adrianlia, jonathanaurora, ethanagnus, jercecy, and nikobran crumbs. thank fuck it’s over !

This book was better than the first . I tolerate Creighton more than Killian.

The shooting drama and the kidnapping to the island, was very chaotic. Made me question everything.

I couldn't get over the age gap. There was consent in this one or at least from what I remember compared to the last one. 
A 17 and a 20 year old though? That's just weird and very creepy.

I have mixed feelings on this book. On one hand I loved Creighton and Annika, they're amazing. But I also really di n't like Creighton a good portion of the time as well. 

I love that they ended up together though. I think they're good for each other. They bring out parts of each other that wouldn't otherwise have been brought out of they didn't have each other. 

I really enjoyed this book overall. I just thought it was a bit slow and it didn't keep my attention hooked the entire way through. Out of the two books I've read so far from this series, this one isn't my favorite. I preferred the first book. But I would still recommend this book as well.

The first half of the book seams a bit rushed between Annika and Creighton
The plot is very good though.

- friends to lovers to enemies to lovers (yes)
- grumpy (him) / sunshine (her)
- mafia
- college romance
- Dom/sub

Not sure if I’m the target audience for this book. It’s not a traditional romance, but kinda? 

Annika’s seventeen, going on eighteen; and that gives me the ick. Also almost DNF around 20%. but I pushed through. I will say the plot essence is good. I won’t spoil anything, but the overarching storyline I’m down with, mostly. I feel like the first half of the book, I was with and then the last 40% I was like “Wow I guess…”  I think for me the romance is all in the first half of the book and then the second half. It’s like some version of a controlling love story.

I feel like Anni and Creighton finally get to a good spot in their relationship in the first half and it all dissolves so quickly and in a way that’s almost unbelievable. 

Everybody in this book needs therapy and a greater police presence in their lives. The second half of the book I understand why creigh kidnaps her, but you had just made all this emotional progress and it all just became unraveled which I guess is trauma. I feel like some of the glaring parts of overdramatics were a result of both Annika and Creighton’s frontal lobes not being full developed lol 

17/18 year old me, probably would’ve enjoyed this book. But now at 30, it’s a little much. Like I can’t imagine this happening IRL, given their ages (which is my own biases). 

The book is not written extraordinarily well, but it’s good enough. It reminds me of the novels and fanfics I read on the internet for free. There a great deal of spicy scenes with excellent descriptions, but they are spicy with violence and young people as the copilots. I tried to this book because I love the sunshine/grumpy trope, but uhhh this one was not for me. I do like that Ring Kent’s books series follow a lot of the characters in this book, but I don’t think I’ll be finding out what happens to the rest of Lord Remi’s crew.
