It was alright, not what I had hoped it was going to be/end up being.
Spice: 2/5 🌶️
I really wish that this book was the classic like chick sold off to her fathers enemy to pay his debt. Then they fall for each other and all that. The entire book I was like okay maybe he’ll stop being such an ass now. After all his reasons to be so cruel are dumb like he’s his dad died but dude you can’t really put thah on her. And the whole gonna make her submit normally I’m like okay kinda a fan but idk the way in this book is him just dying to constantly manipulate her to do what he wants. I downloaded the second one only because I’m slightly curious about what happens when she inevitably gets caught after running away with the notebook. But idk if the second is same as the first I might have to DNF. Also don’t think I don’t like the book just because I’m not a fan or this kinda book. I’m a big fan of this kinda stuff but this book just really hasn’t done it for me. Idek what to rate the spice at cause there was spice but it was like eh idk.

I have to say that I’ve never read this author before and I wasn’t impressed. It wasn’t stated that this was part of a series and would finish in a cliff hanger!
I couldn’t relate to the characters at all.

Well, this was amazing. But I expected nothing less from Clarissa. It was intense, the suspense and heat were off the charts, and from chapter one to the last page, it held my attention. I love how this author writes her dark romances. She doesn't shy away from much, and this book was no different.
The characters were awesome. LOVED Charlotte. She was fun, sassy, and firey. She was a strong female character, and they are the best in romances like this.
Easton was something else.. I hated to love him, but loved to hate him!! So many parts in the book I wanted to reach in and punch him in the face! LOL. But if I am honest, that is half the reason I loved this book so much, because I was so bent out of shape on how I am meant to feel about a character. It's mind fucking and it's amazing! Ms. Wild has a way with her words, and her books where she makes you feel every bit of the emotions these characters experience themselves, and damn... It was all the feels! A wrecking ball of emotions swooping in and knocking me on my ass. Over and Over.
Now, I need book two, right away!!

Easton has always wanted Charlotte, he blames her and her father for his father’s death, Charlotte’s father never thought Easton was good enough for her. Now Easton has made something of himself and wants revenge on him, and he wants Charlotte.
Charlotte can’t believe her father actually used her for his debt, sold her to a man that is no where near the boy she knew, she’s his prisoner or her father dies.
Easton loves Charlotte, even though she was sold to him he’s always wanted her, and he’s going to make her love him.
Charlotte doesn’t like the confliction with how Easton makes her feel, the more she finds out, she just wants to be free not imprisoned by him and she’s going to everything she can to escape.
Ends on a cliff hanger.

3.5 StarsI've always been a fan of this author's books (more or less). She has an easy way to her writing that pulls you in right from the start. It was also a relatively short book, so the plot moved along at a good clip. The plot itself was intriguing. An enemy to lovers type of tale. Although, we are still mostly in the enemies part by end of part one. (lol) Still the couple had some decent chemistry, which makes me excited to see where the story goes in the book two.
I was a little surprised by the lack of heat in this book. I am used to this author's books being sizzling and dirty, but this one was much tamer in that department. However, I am sure the "sizzling" is coming. There was no OW or OM drama. I didn't find this particularly angsty, but there are a lot of acrimonious exchanges between these two.
Which leads me to the main issue I had with this book, and that was Easton himself. I'll admit it...I didn't like him. I didn't quite understand why he blamed Charlotte for something her father did. And the reason he was angry with Charlotte (a perceived slight) was pretty lame (IMO). Considering he saw what happened to her when she was a girl and stood up to her father, it seemed a little over the top to have that much anger towards her. Her father, ya, fine...I got that part, but the way her treated Charlotte through the whole book rubbed me the wrong way. Now, Charlotte herself I LOVED. She didn't bow down (most of the time) and I loved that about her. I was cheering her on at the end of this one and I can't wait to see what she gets up to in the conclusion.
So a bit of a mixed bag with this one. Easton (and his behavior) was the main issue for me, and I am hoping we get a (little) softer Easton in book two to smooth out some of his rough edges. I want to feel that he has some feelings for Charlotte and it isn't all about revenge and control. So we'll see...fingers crossed and all that.

A Debt Owed by Clarissa wild is a story of revenge- an enemies to lovers romance with angst, and drama. I have really enjoyed other books by Clarissa Wild, so I was really excited to get my hands on this book. As soon as it arrived on my Kindle, I dove in. I had high expectations and it pains me to say this, but this is my least favourite read of Ms. Wild’s that I have read so far.
I found it difficult to connect to the characters, which detracted from my enjoyment of the story. The story and characters really frustrated me- I just couldn’t get into the story. It didn’t feel believable and a lot of the story felt forced or a little too ‘convenient’. I felt the characters needed a little more depth and development too.
The story continues in the next book, which was another frustrating factor. I don’t know if I will bother with the next book at this stage. I think I will wait a few weeks and then re-read this book again to see if I still feel the same way, or if I was just having a bad day when I read this.
I really wanted to love this book- and I feel bad that I didn’t- especially when I normally love Ms. Wild’s work. I recommend you read the story for yourself, because I may have just been having an off day.
Thank you, Ms. Wild!

Dark and Intriguing but so full of wonder and I can’t wait to see how these 2 star crossed people turn what started when they were kids into something that can be better! They are battling some seriously bad bumps in the road but I still have hope that in the second book they will figure it all out.
