4.0

I can’t say this was a good book. The plot was painfully predictable and if you asked me to define Jack’s personality to you, I wouldn’t know how because it felt so inconsistent. 
However, this book cared about the chemistry between Marius and Jack. And boy, chemistry they had. Pretty much right from the beginning I knew they had the fire for an amazing enemies-to-lovers relationship. 
I enjoyed myself thoroughly reading this and exploring the possibilities of a gay beauty and the beast.

Dark, mysterious queer slow-burn romance. Addresses generational trauma and is definitely steamy.
