So… yeah I kinda loved it, the spice was spicying and Zade is (of course) added to the list of book boyfriends. Addie girl, let me tell you, you are relatable in so many ways I was like damn I think we could be besties.

All in all, I really liked the book, I don’t know if it’s because I was reading it while also being quite busy with work and studies, but it did feel a bit longer than what I expected (which is not necessarily bad though).

The fucking cliffhanger though?

I’m fully invested in this story! It’s dark and steamy and everything I could want! My only complaint is that it’s a little drawn out.

Para mi gusto fue demasiado lento. Confieso que sí me enamoré de Zade.

dnf @ 11%. 

you’re telling me the love interest has spent his whole life breaking human trafficking rings 

but also

wants to do terrify his crush so badly that she is in fear of her life so he can accomplish his end goal of making her his even if against her will? 

if you have r-word fantasies just say that.

No! The writing horrible. Character introduction unclear. The setting is such a cliché. When a man is taken by a picture of a woman and then sees her and the thoughts that run in his head is how to destroy or break her. We're in SA territory.
Romance authors today are creating reading slumps. Their writing is boring, unoriginal and seems to want make very illegal taboo topics okay.
