Have you ever wanted to tag along with an absolutely functional dysfunctional situationship? Rowan and Sloane have got you covered. 

If you can listen to the audiobook, you’re in for the treat of a lifetime. Narrators are 🤌💋

This book skirted the line between too much and just enough. Usually I’m not squeamish in the least but this book just skirted that line. I almost put it down once but it was so good so I kept reading. I’m glad I did because it was worth it.

Was the gore at times nauseating? Yes, for sure. Did the spicy, sweet romance make it worth the read? Yes, near certainly. 

Take the content warnings seriously! Very little is left to the imagination.

Even though I’m not a dark romance girly I really liked it. Even though there were some gruesome parts I still really enjoyed it.

4.0

Overall this was a really good book. I enjoyed the darker romance.  But I will say if you are squeamish at all probably not the book for you there was a lot of gory descriptions. However I didn’t find it to be too much. The romance in this book was really sweet and I really loved Sloane and Rowan I felt like they were perfectly matched. Their romance truly grew throughout the novel. 

But I did enjoy the first 60% of the book a lot more. I felt that as soon as the smut started the rest of the plot was thrown out the window. All of a sudden she’s moving in with him and they are opening a restaurant. I know the story at this point was building up over years but I felt like it comes out of nowhere. Which is why I ultimately landed with my rating. I also found that the ending of the book was a little lack lustre.

I also really liked the set up for the other couples of the next books. The teasers sprinkled in this book makes me excited to continue the series.

It got real gross a few times, but I kept going ‘cause Sloan and Roan were so freaking funny.  It was an actual romcom mixed with a gory psychological thriller.

I probably missed some warnings in there. Basically, don’t read this without girding your loins first.
