Y'ALL-- this one was a wild ride!! i wanted to fall in love with dom in the same quick way i did with nero and king, but it took me a minute.

like i LOVED HIM in the beginning, but after the betrayal of las vegas and then he like exposed all that he had done, i was PISSED off. like i was visibily so angry and had to put the book down because I FELT betrayed too. like he didn't just do that shit to val, he did it to me as well

i will say i started to come around to him after some of the sweet stuff he did, but he still threw in a little *punch* there towards the end

the changing out her BC was like a gut punch to me bc i would be LIVID bc i do NOT want kids, but i'm glad it all worked out and val was okay with it

that scene towards the end?!?!?! had my heart RACING, but man val is a f*cking badass, let me tell you. overall, i enjoyed it, had a great time, but dom really hit me where it hurts a few too many times, so king's still my favorite. i did LOVE seeing payton&nero and savannah&king in this one!!! i think i fell even more in love with both couples throughout this book.

ALSO THE FINAL SCENE!?!?!!? holy. shit. like i saw it coming but i didn't expect it at the same time iykyk.

I have a soft spot for S.J Tilly- and she certainly didn't disappoint.. I'm questioning all the decisions that have led to me reading this book (which I ended up reading in a few hours)... I'm questioning my entire existence, being and feminist values. I will now turn to god, who will send my sorry, horny ass to hell for reading (and loving) this filth. 10/10

I really love all the other books by this author but I had a lot of trouble with this one. 

He stalks her, ambushes her, roofies her, forces marriage while she's high, has sex with her when she says no, drugs her again and tattoos her, eavesdrops on her therapy session, and switches out her birth control pills with placebo, which is a form of sexual assault.

Val might have decided she was later okay with his actions, but I wasn't. Nothing redeems this level of behavior. She should never have trusted him. He didn't earn it. 

Edited to add: Amazon has scrubbed all negative reviews for this book including mine and I can absolutely not support an author who does this. Thank heavens storygraph exists!
