I'm not sure if I could give this book a rating...
The main characters weren't likeable to me but I can see how they could be to other people. 
Blake was such a bland character that i had to go back and look up her name for this because I forgot it. She was just there to be used and gaslit and yeah that's the point of the book but that was literally her only purpose.  
Ryat was an asshole but at least he respected her opinion sometimes. (only after he started liking her so still an asshole)

Also the book isn't by far a good BDSM representation.

I didn't quite like it but it was very captivating and hard to put down.

Also take a shot every time boobs bounce when she gasps and its not anatomically possible.

If you’re looking for a believable story or plot, this is not the book for you. If you’re looking for intense dark romance and smut, you’ll love it.
