The sexy parts were definitely sexy, but the plot didn’t carry the story in a logical way.

I probably should have checked contents warnings. Not really my type of story line but not a terrible book.

This book had me hooked from the beginning. I kind of predicted what was going to happen, or who some people turned out to be, but I was still surprised by the turn of events and how things played out. 

Book was pretty spicy, I would rate it 🌶🌶🌶. Although could have done without the use of the word c**t used as a descriptive word more than once.
