This book is hot hot hot 🥵

One night, Selena pulls over for a bad storm and is approached by escaped convict Lex (Lexington) and gives him a ride (clearly unaware that he is a convict) 

Through their adventures of him getting this ride, he discovers that his “Rabbit” (to his coyote/wolf) is married to another kind of monster.

Following their story was a rollercoaster. A lot of emotions to unpack here and their chemistry is obviously off the charts. I loved this dark smutty romance.

The only complaint I have is Lex’s back and forth on whether to have Selena on his journey or not. She proves over and over that she is brave and tough and he still tries repeatedly to send her away and as much as it frustrated Selena, it frustrated me — it’s a romance after all — all I want is for them to be together 😂😂😂

Otherwise,

samflowerv6's review against another edition

This isn’t for me. I liked the bunny/rabbit nickname he gave her but the lines of consent were not clear and it felt a little rapey. Okay maybe fully. I think I blocked it out?  It just didn’t sit right with me and the MMC grossed me out.Like are we forgetting the giant creepy face tat. Well I tried. To no avail. Also what the fuck was his POV? One of the few times I hated a love interest’s thoughts. So creepy and the imagery of all those gross motels? Uckkkkk

“Tell me what you want,” he says. “You,” I whisper, accepting my sin. And wanting more of it.

Lex is a convicted killer fresh out of escaping from jail when Selena picks him up on the side of the road. what Lex doesn't know is that Selena is running from an abusive husband. What Selena doesn't know is that Lex is going to change her life forever.

I love dark romances and this one was definitely dark. While I did enjoy this book, it wasn't my favorite. The first half was great; the right amount of spice and all the things dark romance readers love. The second half dragged and it didn't have any plot. I thought the story could have ended when it was at 50% and I wasn't sure how they could stretch the story another 50%. 

I do love the dynamic between Lex and Selena. Lex pushes Selena and Selena challenges Lex. They balance each other and are very different types of people, but they start to realize parts of themselves are the same.

My second book by this author and yet another five star read! I would 100% say go into this book blind if you don't have any triggers. It was an incredible read and I'll definitely be sad to see these characters go, but they'll permanently reside in my brain.
