This book shocked me. I have never related emotionally to a FMC so much in my life. That alone put me in a different head space when reading this book. The emotional complexity of this book was something I appreciated. The story line may seem simple to people who are unable to grasp the depth of the struggles in this book. For those of us who have a deeper understanding of emotions, understand that this storyline is complex. I love how the emotional depth was so easily accompanied by spice. It made this book so enjoyable, and officially made it into my Top 10 favorite books.

This Passionate Dark Romance will have you enthusiastically turning the pages.
It is full of deep inner turmoil from the FMC, wrecking havoc on your heart.
This MMC and his employees are delectable, and naughty.
The story line is deeply emotional, and erotic.
The book remains at a steady pace never ceasing to pull you in.

I absolutely loved this. It was an incredible story laced with tragedy. It was wrote so beautifully and I loved the Gothic feel in the book. I loved that The Gentleman never had his name spoken. It provided me as a reader the opportunity to put my own spin on the Gentleman. This story isn't just about its trigger warnings. Its so much more. It's a story about a breaking point, depression, hopelessness. A chance for the FMC to truly discover and find her own happiness after so long. This story is filled with love and lust. It was such a tender and passionate story that I will definitely reread in the future.

THIS DOES CONTAIN SPOILERS. First of all, let’s talk about the cover. The cover is beautiful and goes all the way around the book. Next, is this mysterious gentleman who just happens to catch her alone in an elevator when she’s alone for Valentine’s Day. He brings her up to his place and dines with her. Like what?? And she follows his dominant commands. I had a feeling we’d be seeing more of him later. Trigger warning- there is a suicide and are bdsm actions. Anyways, this book goes on a bdsm purgatory adventure with several guys, including the gentleman who she dined with, to punish her for the suicide she committed. Overall, this book was an amazing read and I give it 5 stars! I’d highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys bdsm, romance, and fantasy!

Read the blurb before you start as this is a story very much focused on the ‘theme’ described. Such a haunting yet realistic tale of how someone in her situation can feel and process the warring emotions within themselves. Her relationships with the men may look complicated but easy to understand. There is high spicy tension within most scenes, but stronger is the sense of love and understanding and patience. The humour is very dark and relatable. Not everyone will understand why she does some things and may find her thoughts baffling but to someone who has been in that black hole it is familiar
