lavenderchamomile's review against another edition

I don’t like saying this, but this is one of the worst books I have ever read in my life. Truly horrendous. I’m so sorry to the author, I hope she never reads reviews like this. She did way too much and at the same time so little it was almost laughable. 
Check trigger warnings (I’m gonna add “cult” as one here as well)

Take all those trigger warnings, and imagine a book that pretends like a super sexy man, who can barely communicate without getting extremely angry, solves all of the heroines trauma and past. With sex. Hmm. I just don’t buy it at all
