This one did nothing for me. It felt repetitive and there was a lack of chemistry between smiley and vanni. i didn't really like darkness, either, so i think i'm done with this series.

It's not the first time I've read this one in the series. I like it. MMC is adorable. MFC is s little annoying with how with her "shyness" but it's understandable. They had a instant attraction quickly followed by ...let's say.. forced proximity. However, even when separated, they longed for each other.
Unfortunately, I do have to say that I skimmed/skipped some chunks of the books when they aren't interacting at all, and found it a bit more enjoyable for doing so.
Also, it should be noted that his (MMC) lifetime of abuse & captivity are major factors in his personality and motivations, but the trauma isn't his main focus or his only personality traits. I'm not sure this isn't "glossing it over" but it isn't ignored either.

Me gusto bastante, necesitaba un poquito mas, un micro push al final.

3.5 rounded up
I liked Smiley more than several of the previous MMCs and Vanni was a good fit for him. He definitely needed someone soft and sweet and a little bit innocent.
Spice: 4/5
Triggers: drugging, dubcon, kidnapping
