“I’ve mastered my ability to seem like I’m enjoying everything and anything because that’s my job. And I’m f**king good at it. But he’s also met his match. Sexual deviant, meet sexual deviant. I can only hope it will save my life in the end. Why would he want to kill a woman who would let him do anything to her? Anything.”

This is one of those books where you think to yourself HOW could anyone love him, he’s the worst…. And then you do just that. Kane is so broken he has developed a DID just to try to cope, but poorly considering his favorite hobby. However Aurora is also broken and just perseveres almost out of sheer hatred, I mean no matter what is thrown at her… a urinal and chewed gum!? I wasn’t sure how the DID aspect was going to play out in this, but it was so well done, I both loved and hated them all. 

Lauren is so good at writing these completely unique, trauma driven, HOT, f**ked up, hitchhiker romances. Even after reading 3 in the series, I never know what I’m getting myself into and I love it! This is one of my favorites in the series so far and it is also one of the darker ones I think. Five dark and twisted hearts from me, I can’t wait to read more!
