Mickey has serious issues. Like severals.
And I think we could say the same for Bella.
They complete each other.

This book had been on my TBR for a minute and I am so glad I finally picked it up! Masked men and murder? I'm there! Especially when its vengeance against an abusive family (#daddyproblems) I need a Ramon so bad! Someone so obsessed. 

I will admit.. the disappearing for years was odd. Like, It was Ramon. He was constantly fighting- She should have thought to call the jail FIRST. I'd have thought to call them first before the hospital, honestly.

 

This is a guilty pleasure book for me- I had to buy the special edition because I loved it so much.

You think you know what you’re getting when you pick up a dark romance (and this book is all those things) but it’s so much more! When I say I took an actual pregnancy test because I did not believe a book could have me feeling this depth of emotion, I am literally not kidding.

Too repetitive, characters are one-note: obsessed with each other.

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
