The book has one main focus, the one you least expect when you find it in a supermarket book aisle. But it does redeem itself at the end. Should have a fair amount of trigger warnings. To all the aces - this might not be for you. But it was fun to read, added an extra bit of spice to my day.

Very dark and spicy as is the rest of the series.  
But honestly for me it was truly too dark and I never settled in and enjoyed it.  But honestly I think it was more of a me issue than it necessarily being badly written or anything of the such

The only reason why I provide a 3 stars is due to the ending, It provided me enough. 
The Jane Austen quote "if a book is well written, I always find it too short." Does NOT match 'things I wanted to say.'
The book was way to long winded, why did Summer have to be assaulted twice for Whit to mark her as his. 
I loved how he chose her in the end over everyone.  Whit grew as a character the most for me in the book, Summer stayed the same, obsessive, submissive, boring character the whole time. 
Also why did we jump so many years, the time lines were all over the place near the end. 
I wished more from Summer to prove herself and not just sign a document to state she didn't want his money, she never made something of her self in the end she became the thing she said she did not want to be. "A breeding machine for the Lancaster name."

Fall down the BookSmutTok hole where 50 Shades meets old money senior school at Lancaster Prep, where enemies turn to hardcore lovers despite their families' objections. 
  
Dark with darker sub-storylines, Monica Murphy builds the characters quite slowly as they show themselves to each other. Lots of adult themes and situations that are quite unrealistic yet fantastical to read and daydream about.
