 I thought I would enjoy this going in, but it was really dull. I should not listen to TikTok once more. The male lead character in the novel is a walking red flag, and some of the things he said were so outrageous. The opening scene of this novel was the only section I truly enjoyed; the rest of the narrative was very uninteresting. It almost made me want to dnf.

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.

thewenzl's review

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

*NO SPOILERS*
This book captured my attention from the very first page! I love a good smutty dark romance, and this is one of the best and beautifully written ones I’ve had the pleasure of reading. Somehow I ended up tearing up, laughing, and covering my mouth in shock all within the first chapter and as the book continued. I love the backstory for the characters and how the time periods flash back and forth; this really helps you get a sense of why the MCs have the bond they do. Essentially, you’re shown rather than being told! And don’t even get me started on the spicy scenes. I’m definitely going to be reading more from this author!
