The series is always compared to the 50 shades series. No idea personally how close they are, except that the premise is the same - Young inexperienced FMC, intense billionaire MMC
The series needs triggers. Multiple characters, including FMC and MMC, deal with very traumatic pasts through the entire series, and the ups and downs of living with that past, I think, is very well done.
Naturally, being the first book, we only see the flaws first. We get to FMC's past by the end of the book, but MMC's needs more patience.
The 3D characterization of other supporting characters, the mystery of their pasts, their incredibly volatile relationship, are all well done. The book may lure you with its smut, but you'll stay for everything else

OMG, I LOVE THIS READ.
It took me a day to finish this.
Once I start, I couldn't stop.
The read sends me on an adrenaline rush with curiosity, love, sex had character development.
Slyvia Day knows how to write a romance to make us fall in love, tear us apart, make us cry, laugh and also read on about important issues.
Find me, Gideon, because I want to hug him, love him and he can make me his.
I am so curious about his childhood, history, trauma and character development.
The secrets he keeps definitely kept us and Eva on our toes but at the same time, we all just want him to feel love.
Eva was such a queen.
I love she is not really a docile female character that just falls in love and needs saving.
Her back story of her history, abuse and trust was a good balance with Gideon.
She is a badass, feisty independent queen, although sometimes I tire of her running away every time but I get it.
I need to see more of her character development and for her to take charge or her jealousy.
“I have one type: Eva Lauren Tramell. That’s it.” I rolled my eyes.
“Okay. Whatever.”
