Before reading this book please look at the tw!
I really liked this book and it had potential to be a five star read but it was extremely gory and very disturbing. The explicit scenes of rape and violence weren't what I was prepared for when I wanted to read a romance with a complicated setting.  Maybe thats my fault for not reading through the tw or the publishers fault for not labeling the book correctly. I felt like this book was more about the domestic abuse than about the romance. 
I also have some other minors problems with the book, like how the MMC wasn't empathetic enough for my liking. I mean I don't expect him to react perfectly in every scenario but he doesn't even concider to ask her about a lot of things and when he does he's a bit judgy. But the biggest fault of the book were definitely the overly explicit scenes of abuse.

Couldn't focus on the romance because of all the (very detailed) physical/sexual abuse scenes. I’ve read plenty of books that dealt with similar topics but this was too graphic. I didn’t care for the MCs relationship at all… I was too busy being traumatized.
