nxa's review against another edition

I dnfed around 70 percent in. I just couldn’t stand Kingsley and Aspen really didn’t make it better. I just thought that kingsley was just so misogynistic and really didn’t think about aspen at all. At some point it felt like it was blurrying the lines between actual consentual sex and sa (so i really didn’t enjoy like most of the spicy scenes which is most of the plot). And also i get what wanted to be done with the whole ‘say you are mine thing’ but really i didn’t like how often that was said and i what way. I thought we were over the time where women were the property of men. 
And the plot was really not there 
I liked Callie though that girl was the best thing in this book
