savvypmc's review against another edition
2.5
Three stars because it’s a solid story with serious potential but I am so sick of reading the word “whimper”.
Pick a different word.
(Mewl. Whine. Moan. Cry.)
Also, these specific lines bothered me:
“The air gets thicker, making it hard to breathe, which just makes my tits bounce when I manage to suck in a deep breath.”
“…her tits start to bounce at her intake of breath…”
“…her big tits bounce while she pants…”
My final complaint—naming every song by title and artist, every time. I would very much prefer to read a description of the music (such as “the bass beats in time with my pulse” or “the speeding tempo makes me feel dizzy”). Giving me a song title tells me nothing about what kind of music is playing, and stopping to even consider having to pause reading to look up the song pulls me so out of the moment, I often stopped and just did not want to continue reading. I hated it.
But overall, I did actually really like the book. Smutty, but with plot. It had a solid setting but some of the characters felt bland.
It felt, to me, like bare bones. Like, it was good, but needed fleshed out. I honestly think it could’ve been expanded into a duo, maybe even a trilogy.

I loved all the song references, I played some of them as I read it through. It definitely gives a nice ambiance as you read!
I would definitely say this is 18+ and a very dark romance. Just know what you're getting into before diving in!

The " plot twist" literally came out of left field so hard that it made no sense.
This was just NOT my cup of tea. At all.
