OMG this was soo good! Once I started I couldn't stop, there was just no way to put it down
and I read in one go.
She's starting a new life after being left by her ex-boyfriend who decided he didn't want her or the fact that she was pregnant. She moves to a new town, finds a new job but is still battling all the things that's she's lost. Feeling numb to the pain and to life itself she decides to go online.
He is fighting his family while trying to be a single Dad and business owner all on his own.
His sister lives with him to help care for his 4 year old son while he's working.
His brother is a drunk who wants him to sell the business.
Things get out of control in the story with twists and some steamy romance that starts to make the MC's play a cat and mouse game that just won't end.
I loved every second and highly recommend it.

Got my first read of 2023 in the books! Wow! What a freaking story! It’s a dark romance but wow! I got Pen Pal x Razorblade Tears vibes from this. I loved the both of those books so maybe that’s why this one spoke to me! It’s def not your typical romance. Lots of triggers with this one pertaining to trauma, miscarriage, and PTSD. This is my second Jade West and I’m really loving her books already. This book is a total 180 from the last one I read from her.
Book was very spicy, plot started out pretty good, but I expected more from the ending.
***SPOILERS* - I loved how the book started out, definitely was a little slow burn for a bit, but once it took off, it took off. The ending was kinda meh. I felt like Leo got the ending he deserved, but I expected more from Abigail’s ending (her personal traumas and what not), still a decent story overall.

Run.
I mean, you can try. You won't want to though. This book has everything. Heat, tragedy, love, hate. It's everything.

Heavy on the CNC/primal play. Jade West doesn’t hold back on the spice. Plot was interesting enough. The female narrator was a big no for me but the male narrator made up for it. Lesson learned to listen to samples before purchasing audio.
4.5 stars
This book had so many things that I love...a dark tortured hero, who secretly has a heart of gold, a horny heroine who is in need of having her dark fantasies fulfilled but ALSO in need of some healing affection, some great primal play scenes, praise kink, and the list goes on...
Additionally, West does an amazing job fleshing out the side characters, especially MMC's siblings and son. There was some truly heartwarming moments as well.
The only reason this didn't get 5 stars from me was I felt like it was missing a little something when it came to the plot development and the development of the MMC/FMC's relationship. It felt like they jumped a few steps from strangers with baggage to being completely in love. But overall I would highly recommend this to anyone who likes dark romance and I'm looking forward to reading more by Jade West!

I wish this book never ended. It was everything I ever wanted in a book. I loved the primal trope with the chase and possessiveness. Throw in a dirty talking, tattooed, pierced MMC and I was a goner. It does have dark topics so check your triggers. It ends with an HEA and all the questions are answered regarding the mystery involving his brother. Now I have to go find something as wonderful as this book or else I’ll be left in a slump.
