Bait 2/5 
I tried this once and put it down, months later I picked it back up. This was just okay. I like the plot of Abigail finding someone to chase and play with her. The backstory of Leo and the warehouse fire was interesting, but this wasn't very memorable and it just fell flat for me. I also listened to the audiobook and this is personal preference, but I didn't care for the female narrator and the British slang.

Make sure to check triggers!

Dark, dirty and emotional is how I would describe this.

She’s looking for someone to make a dark dream come to life and he’s willing to be her monster.

This is the first book I’ve read by Jade and I really enjoyed it!

There’s story with steamy scenes and I loved both main characters.

Spice level:

4.5⭐️ Whew! Leo and Abigail are steamy and naughty!! Allll types of kinks are in here including con-non-con. I couldn’t put the book down bc it was so mysterious and secretive. The ending got a little dramatic but this was a great story on how 2 people helped each other find their way back into the light.
Worth the read?: YES
Reread?: YES

Not for the faint at heart.

Whew! This book was intense. If CNC or Primal/prey are triggers for you, this is not your book.

I was swept up from the first page. Leo and Abigail are fully realized characters with backstories that unfold throughout the book. Jade West has created characters that inspire empathy from the reader, while still writing a smoking hot story. As the reader you truly understand the needs of Leo and Abigail and cheer them on. There is enough angst to worry you, but the HEA is beautiful.

There was absolutely nothing I did not love about Bait.

Abigail has fantasies, fantasies of a monster chasing her, being taken by force… so she puts an online post looking for someone to fulfill her proclivities.
Leo is one of the men that responded to her post. A broken man who likes to chase.
When this two come together to fulfill their fantasies the sex is intense and explosive. And dangerous.
Did I mention he his pierced? Oh well…
