Likes:
• Ryat is obsessed with her. An OTT, crazed hero who refused to share her with anyone.
• He was a bad man, but he had honor. Rape was off the table, and we saw that immediately.
• The exploration of Blake’s sexual fantasies. I loved how he reassured her and allowed her to explore without judgement.
• How he called her his good girl. UNF.
Dislikes:
• Ryat is an OTT, possessive hero. He took it too far, IMO, his actions turning abusive in some situations. Some authors walk the line of possessiveness and can’t live without them vibes without teetering into abuse. This author did not manage that.
• The drama. Sweet Christ, the drama. The twists and turns and BS coming out of left field. It was a fucking soap opera.
• Wtf was with all the flashbacks? Why TF couldn’t she actually put those IN the current timeline. Zero reason as far as I could tell except for lazy storytelling.
• She wrote an engaging story—I’ll say that—but her actual writing leaves something to be desired. She needed an editor. Badly. And someone needs to break her exclamation key.
• The amount of violence. It was grotesque, unnecessary, and overkill.
• The sex scenes got repetitive and boring. Yeah, I said it. But I can only read the same things so many times before I start skimming.
