Trigger warning of Rape in this review and more importantly in this book.
I want to state the above warning because I think I would have seriously reconsidered it had this warning been on the description. Some books when its mentioned I think I can cope but its up to me. This had me sobbing by 37% and I would have appreciated the heads up. Its not something graphic you don't read it but the heroine is majorly affected, has nightmares etc and some flash backs were parts are written its OK to skip. And these parts are a little key to explain her outlook. Her panic attacks blah blah. It just triggered me and I did stop and almost relive my experience which wasn't as bad but still traumatic for me. My advice is if you have trauma like this don't neccesarily skip this book but go into it with your eyes open.
Now forgetting the above and reviewing the book & its romance. The Hero didn't get off great. You hear him having sex and its after hes seen her not like they made any moves but while I appreciate hes a bad boy I think us romance readers do like it when the hero gives up his ways to be into the heroine... its my preferred style and so I did drop a star for that.
The romance was cute really. He was a typical dick judging her for her money and she was down to earth I have money but I'm cool and I did enjoy that. Their romance flowed nicely and I found myself enjoying reading this book.
