4.75

This book was a lot better than the first one! I can tell HD Carlton put a lot of effort into this story and the dialogue/thoughts of each character. I felt like the first one was a little cringe, but this one was a lot better in terms of cringe levels. Still a little bit, which is why I gave it a 4.75 instead of a 5. For example, “it’s so quiet, you could hear a mouse fart.” Is not something you’re expecting to see in a dark romance novel? Just my opinion, but she could have left that out. Overall very good and I will be continuing to read more of her books!
