Gianna grew on me over the course of 5 days when I was reading this book. I liked the contrast between her & Christian but I especially loved how she stood her ground against him. The banter, the chemistry and the slow burn romance was entertaining. However, there was still something missing and I couldn't connect with the both of them.
Unfortunately, I found myself pushing hard to finish this book mainly because some things didn't make sense. Maybe I anticipated too much, given the story's build-up. I did feel some similarities between this book & Twisted Love by Ana Huang but at least this book is giving.
This was my favourite bit:
What are you afraid of?”
“Everything,” I whispered, trailing my finger across the starched collar of his dress shirt.
“You’re not afraid of me.”
We were so close his cheek brushed my tear-streaked one when he rasped,
“And, baby, I’m worse than the dark.”
Maybe that was why I felt safe from it now.
