I really liked this book, which is weird but whatever I guess. The mmc was really dominant and I kind of liked it... a lot lol. He was too intense at times, but they both had weird past experience. Consent was there, and god did they use it to their advantage. Summer and Sylvie's relationship was fun to see evolve, even if it did had some challenges.

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.

lani38's review against another edition

I freaking hated this book. How tf is he even allowed to live. He was a new level of asshole that I have every read about. He did not care at all about her and is just an asshole that gets off on degrading others?? For some reason most of Monica Murphys books have guys that act this way. Which is why I said last year that I wouldn’t read any more of her books, but when I read A Million Kisses in your Lifetime’ and actually enjoyed it, I thought, why not read this. Anyway this was probably the worst book I’ve read this year and would not recommend this to anyone. I also dnfed this at 35% because I didn’t want to torture myself any more.
Also the victim blaming in sexual assault is just not okay on any level whatsoever. How can any of the reviewers, who give this more than one star forgive this? She was literally just existing, then got attacked and apparently it’s her fault? Because of the way she dresses? I’m honestly blaming all the reviewers, who gave this anything but one stars and the author. Who still allows her to keep writing the same types of books?? Always misogynistic “alpha” guys, who love to suppress and degrade women. 
A note for Monica Murphy: are you okay? What happened in your childhood, that you keep writing this horrible view for women. 
And how tf can anyone support this, by giving it a good rating!!!!!

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

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.
