dark slow-paced

3.5

I heard this was a great dark romance, but I felt really bored by the end of it. I was totally hooked at the beginning and thought the MCs had great chemistry, but I felt the plot went downhill around the halfway point 😅 Lex kept having the same internal monologue over and over again. And what was up with Lex vs. Lexington 🤣 Totally felt some Jekyll and Hyde vibes. There were definitely some great spicy scenes though. I especially loved the prey/predator scenes. Overall, this was a great book for spice, but the plot and characters could've been a bit less repetitive and more engaging in the second half of the book.

This is a hitchhiker, forced proximity, age gap romance, with a very dark MMC/FMC that have equally questionable standards, and a very dirty mind. Check your triggers, check your morals at the door, and buckle up, rabbit. If you enjoy DARK romance, this will not disappoint.

Oh my gosh this book was so intense from the start! Never thought I’d be into

primal play

but I’m here for it. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. The middle of the book felt like it was wrapping up but then Lauren sends a curveball! Couldn’t put it down! Check TW!

challenging dark tense medium-paced

3.0

“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.
