”Tell me I can taste you again.” He dropped kisses along my jawline.
“Not part of the deal.”
“Fuck the deal,” he growled and claimed my mouth again. We kissed until his mouth became my only reference, the only thing I wanted.”

i’m afraid i have a newfound obsession with stalker romance.

As psychopaths go, Sebastian is a decent guy. In a lot of ways he comes off more as Asperger's than truly without a conscience. Yes, he kidnaps he heroine, and yes, he has little or no empathy. But he gets that relationships require trust. So all the really dark things that can happen, don't. And there's lots of limos, fancy places, and extravagance - always fun. And when Sebastian and Camille to get rocking - it's hot. Fun. Escapist. A bit different in the style of [b:Lev|26827731|Lev (Shot Callers, #1)|Belle Aurora|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1443404613s/26827731.jpg|45900469].

Sebastian is a man who has a lot of quirks and when he sets his sight on Camille he becomes a man on a mission.
This story was so gripping and interesting that I devoured it too quickly.

I knew without a shadow of a doubt when I read the blurb that I would fall for the villain. But then I started the book...

One dance and Sebastian stole a piece of my heart.
Everything after the dance is what had me questioning my choice.

They say it's easy to fall for a Prince but the monster...it's just not done, right? Well, sticks and stones may break bones but names will never hurt Sebastian. A lot of things won't hurt him- he is his own brand of different. The secret parts of you long for him but you will fight. As a reader, even a lover of the dark, a small piece of you will question your desires...

But in the end, it all boils down to one question. Can the villain be the hero of his own story?

I giggled, smirked, and was absolutely giddy in this story. I was also appalled, troubled, and aggravated. I ran the entire gambit of emotions but in the end I felt the strongest one overcome them all...love.

I, Becky Rendon, can and do love a villain.
