Sabotage
By Shantel Tessier
Dark enemies-to-lovers that was so spicy but had almost zero plot.
It was a quick read, and I was hoping it would just be something to break up the ARC I was struggling to get in to.
I don't know if I recommend it. There are other spicy dark romance books out there that have a little more story to keep one entertained - if that's your thing.

So I finished the book, finally, this one just didn’t hit the same for me. I felt like there was a chunk missing in the story… it hard was to connect with the characters.
They started off really intense, but then it felt like that was all they did. Mind you, I love smutty reads and I’m not trying to yuck anyone’s yum here but it would’ve been nice to see them actually do something together. Like, that scene toward the end where she couldn’t sleep after the shit went down and he took her to bed to watch TV.
I mean, he says he loves her at some point, but… when did that happen? It felt like that came out of nowhere, okay maybe it was love at first sight and I could sort of see the confusion and the taboo of it all BUT still didn’t feel the connection… it would have been nice if they didn’t declare it, maybe I’m the only one who didn’t see it? I was confused by the “love,” obsession, maybe?
I love dark romance, and enjoy smutty reads even from the first page and also open to different kinks on page but I don’t know about this one… Raylee’s only positive thing is that she was sex positive and owned that but that was literally it! She had nothing else going for her… Colton was obsessive and controlling including his friends and I guess because he was rich? The friend’s went along?
The LORDS adjacent thing was interesting and I don’t know… I didn’t enjoy this book… I’m going to get Madness, hopefully that’s better.
