I couldnt Finish it.
I sometimes like to read a good written dark romance but this was just dark without any romance.

He just kidnapped her to brake her and traines her to be his slave.
No feeling no love no anything.
Nothing than his wants and her giving in and obeying because of the terror of being sent back to a monster of her past and the threat of being put back in the cell in which he kept her the first weeks.
Stockholm syndrome sold as romance.🆘

The only acceptable ending for this book would be if she killed him in the end.☠️

The writing was good though.✅

Stockholm syndrome. Carter basically abuses Aria to break her so she submits to him. He succeeds, she becomes completely broken and it made me so sad and mad.

I feel like saying this was really cute might be misleading considering it’s a dark romance… but this was surprisingly really cute.

Definitely gives Sons of Anarchy vibes.  With an MC like Carter—someone who is cold to the world yet protecting what’s his it would be difficult not to be interested in the rest of the series.  Aria took me a little longer to like but she’s a great MC as well.  Strong, perceptive, and intelligent enough to know how to act in different situations.

They both seem just as stubborn as the other Carter showing it in a more possessive way so it was rather interesting seeing them interact and get more comfortable around the other.
