“Giulia is accommodating, indulging in whatever I ask, but what I need is something that would turn her stomach.”
And it was at this point that I knew it was going to be one of those books (more 😳 than 🌶️).
However moving past the 😳 moments, this book had gothic overtones and I had to keep reading to find out what happened to his wife and child, even though we all could guess. I liked the writing with some action, some good guys and some real nasty guys.
Recommended for those who enjoy a Mr Rochester with a side serve of nazi genetic sadistic BDSM research.
Can’t give it a 🌶️ level because past book recommendations with low 🌶️ have shown I’m living a sheltered life. But will opt for a 😳😳😳 out of 5.
