Well, we made it through. Almost DNF’d a few times. 

This one started so strong, but an intriguing dark romance plot. But then once the couple got together it was just sex. I don’t know if it’s just me, but when a couple decides they love each other but their relationship is only sex, I have a hard time believing it. There has to be more substance. But no, literally every chapter is a very intense and graphic sex scene. 

I think this book could have been about 150 pages shorter. It felt really drawn out. 

Also, new ick unlocked: he can smell that she’s ovulating?!! Absolutely not. 

Check the trigger warnings. I enjoy dark romances but this one was unfortunately not it.

-age gap: f21 m38
-spicy
-dom/sub
