Not something I ever thought I'd read and like but the dynamic is quite interesting & the main guy is surprisingly likeable. No real plot, but given that I read this book spontaneously as an eBook, I was shocked that I actually liked it.

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.

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
