I'm not much of a dark romance reader, but this came highly recommended by a friend. Vivian Lau, a nouveau riche heiress enters into an arranged marriage with Dante Russo, an old money billionaire, not knowing her father is blackmailing Dante. As Dante actively looks for a way out, the couple is shocked to find sparks flying. It was a fun read, but I was expecting this to be kinkier. The story itself is very psychological but the sex is pretty vanilla, and there's fewer spicy scenes than I expected. It's a decent intro to the genre, and I will probably seek out the next book in the series in the future, but I'm not rushing out to do so.
