This is the first time reading dark romance….it was an interesting introduction to it…
I do really, really, really like this book.
Characters are charming in their own twisted way, the found family, the trauma, and the healing (his and hers as well) are good.
The thing is: we have a motorcycle Psychopath and a killer, and his obsession with a sunshine girl. But this little sunshine has a dark side…She can be stereotypical as sweet, fluffy pink and a church girl, but inside, she embraces her darkness and finds the beauty in the darkness of others, but specially of our enforcer (plus, she studies criminal psychology and has a podcast where she talks about serial killers). So technically, they are the obsession of each other.
Ok, great, but could happen when both of them cross the line of observing from the distance to take action? This book tells us what happen with some…. spice in it.
Ok, fine, maybe that doesn’t sound interesting to you, but let me add another point to the plot: What do you think could happen if there is not one, but two psychopaths are behind her? This second psychopath develops into a serial killer going after our little sunshine.
Now, this was such a ride for me… I’m not used to like readings in which harm is a key for the erotic scenes to develop (I don’t conceive personally into my relationships these practices so it’s foreign this type of topics to me). But in this one, I didn’t feel uncomfortable, I still don’t like it but I was so captivated for the subplot of finding the other psychopath that could harm Bea (our protagonist and little sunshine) that I devour this book in two days within my free time.
So, solid 5 stars to this one, good characters, the found family is always a welcoming surprised to me, the development of the plot, the chemistry, the dual POV, all of that was good.

I saw this on tiktok as a must read. It’s prt of a series and supposedly okay to read as a stand-alone, but I don’t recommend doing that. I didn’t read the other books and I was so lost in some parts when they discussed other characters. I feel like the plot was okay as a stand-alone but the characters have history that isn’t discussed, maybe briefly mentioned and maybe if I knew about them in previous books I’d like this one better. It is EXTREMELY dark and touches on some very difficult topics that are not for everyone. I didn’t find myself connecting to any of the characters and most of the time I was like WTF. Like I said, very very dark book definitely not for everyone.

3.5
It was an okay book.. it had elements that I liked, and parts that i didnt like as much.. but dont get me wrong, the rating is more of how I felt for the book, I think that as an overall book Its probably more then a 3.5, but for me, it just a little too boring compared to other stories I've read in the past!
The most interesting part for me was the whole serial killer thing, and is a big part of why I actually finished the book, it was more of a crime book then romance, even tho the spice is nice and haawwwt in this one! But like I said, I've just read some really good books recently that it just missed something for me.
I really do recommend reading it, because it is a really interesting story, and a book you can enjoy through a couple of days in nice segments!
