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.

mikareads's review against another edition

I listened to this book as an audiobook and I am genuinely ashamed of myself for listening to as much of it as I did. It was a weird and disgusting book and it made me never want to read smut again, despite the fact that most smut books are (hopefully) not this cringey. It wasn’t even just cringey though, it was also disgustingly problematic and misogynistic, despite being written by a female.

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.

3.0

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.
