This book wasn’t bad but I found Isabella extremely infuriating as a FMC. She acts weak and super dependent on Roman but then is pissy he ‘left’ her for 3 years saying he was always supposed to protect her and now she’s “strong” and doesn’t need him when in reality she does

I also found one spicy scene cringy because it went like this: “He slides himself up and down my center, coating himself in my slick”. Maybe it’s just me but I hate when the FMC’s p*ssy is referred to as “my core” or “my center” or “my heat”. And wtf MY SLICK??? Not even my slickness or something else used to describe it

When this is the dedication, you just know it's gonna be good!

“To all the self-proclaimed good girls who want to be chased through the forest, then fucked by a masked man.” 

I really enjoyed this book. It is definitely not for the faint of heart! I loved their friendship and their romantic relationship even more. I absolutely LOVED how dedicated Roman was to Isabella and how much he adored her. I don't know if adored is even a word that matches how much Roman loved his princess.
It was frustrating when Isabella just assumed that Roman had forgotten all about her and didn't just talk to him about it, especially when he was so dedicated to her all that time that it was painful for him. At some points, it seems she was a bit selfish that way. I guess with everything she had to go through, it was justified. I feel like Roman loved Isabella more than she loved him. Even though Roman thought Isabella had forgotten about him, he still went back to her and didn't love her any less.


I just love a book boyfriend who is obsessed, morally grey, and gives "touch her and die" vibes (but with Roman those "touch her and die" vibes are quite literal!). 

Tropes: 
* Friends-To-Strangers-to-Lovers
* Stalking
* Obsessive MMC
* Touch Her and Die (literally)
* Fighter
* Mafia Vibes
* He got tattoos of her artwork
* Ex-con MMC

Not the best dark romance book I’ve read and there were definitely some things missing in regards to background info/plot but it didn’t effect the storyline entirely so it’s ok to an extent lol.

My god this was just crazy left and right. The MMC is CRAZYYYYY. It’s hard ti believe if this was real life you wouldn’f run away screaming from Roman. I mean she hasn’t seen you in nearly 3 years and the first thing you do is jerk off with her underwear😭? Honestly if you were in the book you would be all over Roman but in real life RUN AWAY
