5.0
This is the first time reading dark romance….it was an interesting introduction to it…
I do really, really, really like this book.
Characters are charming in their own twisted way, the found family, the trauma, and the healing (his and hers as well) are good.
The thing is: we have a motorcycle Psychopath and a killer, and his obsession with a sunshine girl. But this little sunshine has a dark side…She can be stereotypical as sweet, fluffy pink and a church girl, but inside, she embraces her darkness and finds the beauty in the darkness of others, but specially of our enforcer (plus, she studies criminal psychology and has a podcast where she talks about serial killers). So technically, they are the obsession of each other.
Ok, great, but could happen when both of them cross the line of observing from the distance to take action? This book tells us what happen with some…. spice in it.
Ok, fine, maybe that doesn’t sound interesting to you, but let me add another point to the plot: What do you think could happen if there is not one, but two psychopaths are behind her? This second psychopath develops into a serial killer going after our little sunshine.
Now, this was such a ride for me… I’m not used to like readings in which harm is a key for the erotic scenes to develop (I don’t conceive personally into my relationships these practices so it’s foreign this type of topics to me). But in this one, I didn’t feel uncomfortable, I still don’t like it but I was so captivated for the subplot of finding the other psychopath that could harm Bea (our protagonist and little sunshine) that I devour this book in two days within my free time.
So, solid 5 stars to this one, good characters, the found family is always a welcoming surprised to me, the development of the plot, the chemistry, the dual POV, all of that was good.
