I actually was interested in reading the book although I don't usually read taboo romance but it wasn't my first time and I've actually enjoyed some taboo romance books. 
Ultimately, i did not like the direction it was taking. It was already giving me doubts before because of the characters
but the thing with the dad and all the hitting finally got me and I dnf

I actually think if the circumstances were differente it could have been good for me but ultimately did not find any logic
i also don't like how both characters are constantly hurting/mistreating each other like when olivia disregards how he is trying to talk to her by not looking at him or restraining his hands. That actually played a lot in deciding to dnf this book

This… made me question things about myself. Was I attracted to this? Nahhh…

Yes?

No. No no no…

Well…

Okay, listen — it was well written. It had me on the edge of my seat, it had me sweating, Malachi was… hot asf? WHY WAS HE HOT ASF? What is WRONG with me?! LOL. Check TW’s though, people. It was a TRIP, for sure.

I did NOT like Olivia in a few parts — The back and forth between wanting him and hating Malachi gave me whiplash, but I tried to think of it from this girl’s POV— their situation was … fragile and I would be fked in the head for a lot of this, too. All in all, it was entertaining — worth the read for that.

I loved this book. Absolutely flew through it. Loved having the past chapters in her pov and the present in his. I loved how obsessive Malachi was from the very beginning. I was so intrigued by him. I liked that Olivia was quite confident, really wasn’t a fan of either of her parents, they redeemed themselves a tiny bit towards the end and maybe if the book was a little longer I may have liked them more. The spice had me sweating, there was a certain spicy scene that I don’t think I’ll ever forget, I don’t think I’ve read one like it before and ngl I wasn’t mad about it
