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, 


•touch her and ☠️

ML is escaped felon hitchhiker and FL is prim proper girl who is getting abused by husband. She picks him up from the side of the road and he carjacks and kidnaps FL. Boy oh boy, it was barely a romance i will say. ML and FL do not know what love is and cling to each other. It is very crazy, and had some unexpected kinks in here. life be wild sometimes.

This book had a lot going on for it, I felt a disconnect with the characters though. 

Lex is very hot and cold. He likes Selena but keeps pushing her away every chance he gets, especially during a hard time. 

Selena is describe as meek and innocent. She is until Lex corrupts her. I feel like people are half and half. It just seemed like it would take people a lot longer if not at all to become a killer. 

She all of a sudden, starts killing with Lex. Like really?!?  

I found the plot lacking, quite a lot of spice but not enough depth.

There is a lot lot lot lot lot of smut for only 190 pages. 
Unfortunately it is repetitive and it made me lose interest the further I went through the book.
The story could have been more developed.
I was kind of hoping a tragic end to this one.


The audiobook is really good, the narrators are convincing  and the mixed dual POV is one of my favorite narration.
