DNF. I got half was through this book before I threw in the towel. It’s not sexy, it’s not a dark romance it’s just cringy and I could not waste another moment of my life reading this dribble.

I won't lie I read this in like 4ish hours, I was somehow hooked and could not put it down. I would pay attention to the content warnings though.
The book majorly sped up on the last 50%, the first 50% was still good though!

This book does have its issues which I'll try to sum up:

• Alex is kinda stalkerish and gives off creepy vibes. Even more so in the last 50%
• The singing scene was... uncomfortable to read.
• This book is leaning quite heavily on the fact you would read the next one, this can't be read as a stand-alone.
• At times to me it felt like I was reading a Twilight fanfiction.

The writing was fine but the way the book ends is super gross to me.

Alex literally stalks her, refusing to let her date other people, saying she will always be hers, etc. And she just ends up loving him for that when it’s actually 100% illegal and abusive.

Little miss sunshine falls for enemy grumpy morally grey best friend of brother. 
Add some CEO/Ukrainian gangster/ revenge seeking and some heavy bleek backstory with a spice and you’ve got twisted love. 

I can see why many on bookstagram love this book and the characters but it wasn’t really my thing. Apparently I prefer my morally grey men a bit more fantasy realm evil then CEO evil.

I enjoyed some of the plots. Lots of drama. Ava is ignoring some major red flags from Alex. There’s a time and a place for possessiveness but he definitely takes it to far. Erratic and impulsive for someone supposed to be so calculated. Borderline sociopathic behavior. Also did not enjoy the bragging inner monologue. Odd mix of intelligent then very base animal and territorial.
