I liked the premise of the book, however parts of the book fell through. There are a few major things that weren't executed well:
The characters feel stiff and lack any kind of nuances. They don't really have any personalities apart from their background which is trauma.
The romance part happened way too quickly and went way too far. I don't mind insta-love in books, however this kind of ruined the existing tension in the relationship.
In one of the scenes the use of a safe word was discussed, but when it was used it was completely disregarded. Total ICK.
Certain topics were added to the book, but weren't discussed properly and felt like the point of adding those was for the shock value such as, sexual assault, child abuse, and human trafficking.
I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that this book had character artwork, however it's all AI and all artwork of characters looks completely different.
The ending was kind of boring and predictable. And while I had fun reading this book, looking back I can't say it's of a great value.

This was simply too triggery for me. Stopped for my wellbeing.

I’m giving more stars than I should simply because I liked the concept but there’s a lot wrong with this book.
The glaring one for me was the clear lack of editing and revision. Dialogue is often unclear and the description of what the characters are doing often doesn’t make sense, on top of numerous punctuation errors.
The second thing was the blatantly obvious AI artwork throughout the book that often didn’t even match the descriptions of the characters. How hard would it have been to commission a real artist to accurately depict the characters??
I also don’t think the content warnings at the beginning of book are nearly strong enough given the multiple graphic descriptions of SA and rape.
It’s a fast and easy read, but not necessarily a great one.

I love a good forbidden religion book. This was good but you have to be ok with insta-lust which is fine by me but then there were some poorly edited scenes where clothing disappeared, reappeared, then disappeared again.
medium-paced
you know when you were REALLY looking forward to eating something you left in the fridge after a greuling shift at work only to find out someone else ate it? Yeah thats how this book felt
