dark
emotional
tense
fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Loveable characters? No

This was an extremely messed up book, and yet I couldn't put it down.

🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶 — for frequency, kink, and description.
I am conflicted! I like my romance dark and erotic. So I was mostly into the vibes this book was putting out. About 3/4 of the way through I started to wonder…. Okay how is our H going to redeem himself? And then the ending happened….
The ending lands in a bit of a cliffy and you have to suspend reality to buy into it. I was honestly surprised by it. The majority of the book honestly reads as a standalone and it’s not until you get to the end that it clearly leads into a series.
My biggest issue with the book was the representation of Mexicans. It was hard to read. The villain in the group is part of a Mexican cartel and the way the main character refers to him seems to put alot of emphasis on the fact that he’s Mexican as opposed to the fact that he’s a gang member. it felt like the link between him being villainous and being Mexican were too close for my liking.
