Honestly no idea how I finished this book. It was all rather silly, premise, writing, characters. It's like a car crash that you can't look away from. Still going to read book 2 for some morbid reason.
I fell in book bf love with Jesse! What a great story!
I hate that he calls her LADY, all I hear is Jerry Lewis in my head, which is NOT hot. All I can say is I would rather read a book about Sam and her bestie.
Started out thinking that this might be an interesting one... Then realized nothing ever really happened. And both main characters are certifiable. And he's not at all sexy- but instead is a psychopath.
I've got two words: Good Damn!
I was first introduced to this series as a 16-year-old girl who probably shouldn't have been reading, read it and thought wow I really like this book.
I am not a 24-year-old woman and I still love it as much as I did the first time. It felt like I was reading it for the first time The long period probably helps it feel like that tho.
As a child, I felt that Mr. Jessie Ward was the hot and sexy toxic man that I wanted. Now I see Jessie Ward as the hot and sexy toxic man that I should most definitely stay away from but I love to read about. This man is the biggest RED flag that i love to put my rose tint glasses on for.
And lets talk about Ava. Okay girl i see you getting your back broken into several places. Miss O'Shea is what you call very much dickmatized. She would run cuz she knew he was no good and then pull a SZA " I cant see I'm blind" girl byeee.
Onto the next book i got to see if i love that one just as much

Another reread of this book so I can read Jesse’s POV and I’m just remembering how I felt reading it for the first time. The ups and downs of how it feels falling for someone. Will always stay a favorite of mine. 🏩
Uh...I really didn't like this book. The H/h were so melodramatic all the time and the H's behavior bordered on psychopath. I also lost count of how many times he told the h to "watch her mouth" when she swore, it sounded like he was scolding a toddler everytime he said it. Sad to say I won't be continuing the series.
This Man is what some women might consider their deepest, darkest fantasy coming into life.
I say "fantasy", because I don't think someone would actually want to have a boyfriend as crazy as the hero (Jesse) in real life, unless she had a few loose screws in the head.
I'm talking about crazy obsessive, controlling, stalker level here, in which he needs to be with the heroine (Ava) all the time to the point that he won't allow her to come to work. He would have knocked off any other guy who tried to glance at her. He wouldn't let her go no matter how many times she turns him down. He cannot breathe without her and would call like a hundred times a single day when it's obvious that the girl just needs space.
You see, Jesse's over-possessiveness is laughable, and knows no boundaries. And yet...this behavior is what endeared him to me. Who wouldn't want a guy who lives and breathes only for you, and would do anything in his power to protect you and keep you safe (in his most controlling ways)?
But after being exposed too much to the push-and-pull relationship of Jesse and Ava, I think I had enough. I swear, Ava is just so clueless.
Jesse says one sweet thing like "That's how much I care about you", and then instead of being happy, Ava's thoughts will go like "Oh no, he cares about me - like a brother or something? I feel my heart slowly cracking."
What the f*ck, girl. What made you even think that? Can't you read between the lines? Have you just lost your goddamn eyes and couldn't see every thing Jesse has been doing to you...for you? For one, he's f*cking you all the time and if he cares for you like a brother, then that's just...eww, okay?
Now I can hear Jesse yelling at me "Watch your mouth!" Sorry, Jesse, I just couldn't help it.
Another thing I didn't like about this book was the revelation near the end. That's where I draw the line.
I get why Ava is having a hard time forgiving him. I felt that he manipulated her with sex, to distract her from asking personal questions about him. It was hard to be in Ava's shoes because she doesn't know a thing about the guy she's falling for - the same guy who's controlling her life (Ordering her what she can wear and cannot, asking her to watch her mouth every time she swears, not allowing her to go out and drink or to go wherever she wanted to).
For goodness' sake, she doesn't even know his age (I didn't know it either and it left me frustrated), and she asked him like a thousand times already and he never answered truthfully or he just diverts her attention to sex so she won't ask again. Is there even a reason why he doesn't want her to know? If I find out in the next book that there's no real reason for hiding it, then I promise I'll squeeze his balls very hard he'll cry out in utter pain.
I guess that ends my rant, and well...my review, if you can even call it that.

DNF at 87%
I was really trying to stick it out and finish this but it was just so terrible!! Jesse is creepy, controlling and rapey and I simply can’t struggle though the last 13% of this.
