Yeah I don’t even know what to say. It was amazing, I read it in almost one sitting (but I had to sleep). The first half of the book I was so frustrated. There were so many red flags that were ignored and it seemed like the way the author was writing it made it feel glamorized. But when you get to the ending you realize why everything happened. And it doesn’t excuse these red flags but it makes it make sense. I went into the book blind and only read the blurb on the back which also told you barely anything about the book. But you should go into it blind. It’s a great book and I’m so confused at the end of it and I’m waiting for the second to come in the mail so I can continue. But just know it’s a great book, a romantic erotic suspense and look at trigger warnings. And then dive right in.

this was really good and i enjoyed it a lot, but i’m extremely confused by the ending and everything that went on in the book in general. that being said, the writing was great, i loved the characters (most of the time) and even though the relationships were fairly toxic, from what i could tell (again, very confused), i found myself rooting for both sean and dom.

A young woman goes to live with her estranged dad for the summer (kind of twilight vibes, unsure if it's intentional tho) to work in his factory for the summer, all to make sure she can still get her inheritance. But her plans to buckle down and get the year over with are challenged by the mysterious men of the town.

If you like your mysterious novels this might be up there. But God, did I get irritated by the vague stands of information. 

In saying that, I am probs going to finish the series as I already have them...
