Listen my rating system is not all the same. Because technically this is not a four probably like a three, but I had so much fun reading this I’m rating it just on the vibes. This is not while written and the characters were actually annoying, but I just found myself so entertained. I did like the characters together for the most part. This does have heavier topics which I wasn’t expecting, but what made it more interesting. The spicy scenes are honestly kind of bad. IT’s instalove as well which is annoying because this is a 500 page book but whatever. I literally just listed all the things I didn’t like and yet it’s still a four star. Maybe my rating will change later but who knows.

At the beginning I was worried, but had hopes that it wouldn't be anything like the Fifty Shades series. I wanted so much more for this book. It did have a good plot with fun and intriguing characters, but then about half way through I felt it was really waylaid with all the romance. It went hot and heavy for a while and almost felt like I lost the main idea of the plot. I almost forgot her whole backstory for a little while…
I feel this book could have been a little bit shorter, but all in all, it was a good thriller romance novel. Full of some hard topics, this is not for the faint of heart.
