I'm rating this 2 stars because the spice was okay and because it was sometimes funny.
Now, so you know what you're getting into, here are some of the worst parts in the book:
"He smiled. "Three thousand six hundred and fifty-two is a sum I could only aspire to meet-that is, if we're taking leap days into account. If not, minus two, and I may have a better shot."
Did he just do the math in his head? God, that was... hot."
- Yes, because being able to calculate 365×10+2 is truly a hard calculation.
"She was giving Ronan those big dark eyes that would be impossible for even Hitler to resist."
- Do I have to add anything?
"I can take your IUD out in this alley, and we can get started right now."
- No.
"I could fight him, but now his masculine scent surrounded me and confused my senses. His warmth soaked into my skin, forcing the resistance to melt within."
- Having sex with someone you don't want to have sex with because he smells good and is warm.
A last note: This book needs trigger warnings for the shit it light-heartedly drops on you.

I hate these kinds of things bcz of the main end up together, it feels stockholm syndrome, like mentioned in the book, a few time..
But not gonna lie, in a weird f-up way, Ronan aka D'yavol grew on me.
This couple is completely different from the first two.
Christian + Gianna and Ronan + Mila= when their love language is literally them insulting one another>>>
—
Beside that this man kept her earring with him…?!
—
And Christian, Gianna and Kate appearances and Ronan sweet moments with Kat.
-
Christian looked like Gabriel the archangel.
Ronan was every part D'yavol. I knew if they stood on separate sides of an alley and I was running from danger
I'd jump into D'yavol's arms.
Quotes:
Mila glowed. The only shadows that
touched her were mine.
She gave me her forgiveness.
I had nothing to give her but vengeance.

It’s been three days since I’ve read it and I still can’t get over Ronan. I literally think about him every hour of the day. And Mila? I’m torn between wanting to be her best friend and wanting her to just not exist.
The first 100 pages of this book was gold. I am obsessed with gentlemanly, mysterious Russians with deep pockets. So when Ronan first comes into the picture acting like a good samaritan, I’m all over it.
And then, we get to the plot twist. I won’t reveal too much but things got intense. Like, INTENSE intense. I almost stopped reading. My faith in Danielle Lori was dwindling at the very actions of Ronan who I thought I loved so much. But, despite my moral code, I kept on reading.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen and enbies, I fell in love with a fictional man who kidnapped a woman. My idea of romance is fucked up…send help. It’s safe to say that you’ll want to research possible content and trigger warnings for this book.
If you’re like me, you’ll be obsessed with everything about this book soon enough. I don’t know why my faith in Danielle Lori (my literary goddess) was cracking, considering she’s never failed me before. I mean, let’s be honest…Nico from The Sweetest Oblivion and Christian from The Maddest Obsession are perfect in every way. And Ronan…well let’s just say he could “choke me like he hates me but he loves me.”
