5.0
I read this book after a Untamed Vixen and Vilnian Era and I regret nothing! Although this story is not a why choose it takes place right before Untamed Vixen.
Claire's world is turned upside down when she moves across the country to sunny California for college. School is her number one focus and the only thing she needs to get back to her east coast home is a scholarship her professor is willing to help her get. Just one year and she will be back to everything she loves. The only good thing about being so far away is getting away from someone in her past trying to overtake her future.
Johnny is the mysterious neighbor who seems to not have a care in the world. He definitely doesn't care for Claire and seems to be determined to ruin her day.
An unexpected partnership will change it all for both of them.
I love Johnny and Claire's story. This has to be one of my favorite books of 2023.

This book felt very drawn out and didn't feel like it was going anywhere. I was looking for a dark romance as advertised but instead was drowning in over the top gushy affirmations of love.

DNF'd at 55% its so long and the plot is not fast paced at all. I like the characters but no longer care about their story. I do want to know what happens, but I'm fine with never knowing.
