Honestly, I liked the ideas in this story. I think it got some elements that would be interesting for readers. However, I feel everything was half-baked. I experienced many things too fast in the book. I thought there would be some "duels" between Carson and Logan. Then, suddenly Carson got sentimental with Logan. Like what???? Logan said to a nerd that she would make the bullies pay. Did she forget about that??? Also, what about what Carson wanted for his future? Didn't he tell Logan about it? It just vanished from the story. Moreover, the last few chapters are just about sex. I mean, come on. There should be more closure here.
The overall story isn't bad. I just think this is not for me.

Hello Taboo?! Okay yes, this genre is really not new to me since I have been reading this type of literature in a different format. Cough (MANHWA/MANGA. H-animation). However, before I start my review. If the taboo "stepbro, I am stuck "- the type of story isn't your cup of tea, then just don't continue with the book or the story. If you still want to continue with the story, then carry on. Also, please check trigger warnings to see if this book is a good fit for you or not. If not, then that's fine, if it is, then do carry on if you are interested in my opinion or this book.
I have devoured this book in a day! Like, I have seen this book floating around and didn't bother to read it because I thought it was a drama type of thing, but no one told me it was dark romance, forbidden love, taboo type of story!
There is bullying and wow whew. It do be spicy AF like omg @_@ Just expect to see so much smut guys. Okay? :) I couldn't stop reading it because of the story and the smut. I wasn't in the mood to do anything but just follow Logan around. It is dark, but it's not super dark. Logan is not the type of girl you can push around. Logan will definitely kick your ASS.
Carson is jealous and possessive, but ahhhh he's just super sweet and intense! And I love that he puts his mom's needs first. What a sweetheart <3
I am starting to like Rosie's stories a lot. Eff it, I just thought it was amazing. I loved how everything fell into place. Yes, it is a HEA for me and a standalone, but the next book will be about another character in the story AND I AM NOT GOING TO LIE I AM VERY HYPED FOR THAT!!!!!!!!! All caps, so I sound intensely EXCITED AF!
I really loved Sara as a side character. Despite everything that happened in the story. She was very supportive and I adore her.
I cannot wait for the next book! :) Definitely reading the rest of the series.

With this being a reread and with my new rating system, I did rate this book a little different. BUT… I still absolutely love this book and LOVE Rosie Alice’s writing!
Carson is a f*cking caveman for Logan and I am here for it! The possessiveness he has towards her not long after meeting here is amazing.
I wouldn’t say it was the darkest book I have read by any means, but it does have some dark moments in it. And it gets really spicy, especially towards the end! Like 🐱🦋 spicy!😍
