3.5

Pretty sure at least 1-1.5 of those stars were awarded solely on Joe Arden’s narration…

mariancanread's review

The author said so much and so little at the same time. Excessively long paragraphs. The mmc is annoying and constantly was playing the victim even though   the fmc was the one RAPED as a teenager and never recovered from the trauma.

Also, the trigger warning list before this book was bullshit and needed more.

Dark romance my ass. This sucked :/ also it felt like two different books between the parts but I’m not sure if that was the point. 

The characters were boring but the story was okay I guess. Lost interest a couple times..

The plot was fine. I didn't care much for the characters or the inconsistency of their development. I didn't really start to enjoy it until about 75% in.

also, was the Jameson thing supposed to blow my mind? He was my first and only suspect and the author draaaaaged out revealing his identity like it was supposed to be some big plot twist.

I really enjoyed this book but the lack of thorough tw that are needed for this book is extremely disappointing and made me dock a star. The vague tw are not appropriate for a book that contains rape and CSA. I really love this author and that caught me way off guard.

Ok, I went into this book completely blind. All I knew was that it was dark, a hockey romance and had a shopping list of trigger warnings. Tick, tick and a big ol’ tick!! This book was fantastic. I truly felt all of the emotions from the characters. It did feel like a bit of a puzzle at times, trying to piece together what happened. The only reason I gave it 4 stars was because…

Lachlan found Lyla aka De-lil-ah way too easy. I feel like the angst of that scenario could have been prolonged and we could have delved a little deeper into the past as well as into the three years she was MIA but overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this one.
