3.0

I found the links back to the wedding storyline interesting and I enjoyed the character development of Violet. However, the rest of the book fell a little flat for me. I found the other characters a bit dull and not fleshed out enough, especially all the male characters.

For an erotica I found myself rolling my eyes a lot at the sex scenes. It felt like if someone just looked at Violet she came. There were points where someone barely touched her and she was at the point of orgasm. I get this woman is horny but CALM DOWN.

characters are unlikeable
sexy scenes did not make any logistical sense
unnecessary trauma with no emotions behind it
did not root for any characters let alone the main one
falsely marketed as a queer romance sexy story
I regret the 6 hours I spent reading this book

Frustratingly inconsistent in quality. Ridiculously porny (by which I don't just mean explicit, but the sex scenes are often contrived and unconvincing, and leave you asking "who's putting what where now?") Protagonist Violet makes terrible choices throughout, and I'm not sure I was rooting for a happy ending for her so much as just wanted to stay her kicking and screaming away from the awful, awful creeps she's got involved with.

God awful. Violet is absolutely spineless and couldn’t make a good decision if it was handed to her on a silver platter. Everything she does is absolutely infuriating. For every mistake she makes a solution is handed to her on a silver platter and she refuses to take it. Almost DNF’d but wanted to see it through to see if it got better (it didn’t). Genuinely don’t know what the point of the whole book was.
