OK, honestly? This book was a bit weird for me. It was well written, and I did enjoy it enough that I am going to rate it 4-Stars. However, it felt like an incomplete story. Almost like the entire point of the book was maybe just to give us some insight into Carter from the Merciless series. Which would have been fine if Chloe's and Sebastian's story had been more fleshed out. I felt like I was missing huge chunks of their history, which made it hard for me to connect with them as a couple. On top of that, the ending was also left a little unfinished. So perhaps we are going to see this couple in future books?
That being said, it wasn't a bad book either. Like I mentioned the writing was excellent. This author is fantastic at writing emotional stories that grip the reader right from the start, and this book was steeped in emotion and pain. It is a relatively short book, so the pace was quite quick. There wasn't any OW or OM drama. The hero wasn't a manwhore. The heroine (unfortunately) was a virgin. We get a couple of good sex scenes. The secondary characters (mainly Carter) were interesting, and the two main characters were likable for the most part.
So yea, as I said above, it was a bit of an odd read. And as much as I enjoyed it, I still think it could have been much better had the author fleshed out the story more. In any case, I am still going to go ahead and recommend it. Especially if you have been reading the Merciless series as the little extra info about Carter makes a welcome addition.

I absolutely loved this book. I am definitely planning on reading it again. I had mixed feelings on Sebastian and Chloe’s relationship in the beginning, however, when he decided <to leave with her in the end> I realized that he really does love her.

This story had me hooked and hanging on wanting to find out what happened at the end right from the start.
This author has done a good with this story.

Quick read about Sebastian and Chloe, how they came to be, and Carter coming into the picture. True love that lasts over years is what they feel for each other but never acting on that feeling. Sebastian is willing to go to any lengths to protect Chloe but also keeps lies from her that could ruin everything. Quick and easy read from the start.
Sebastian is a bad boy but there was something about him Chloe was drawn to. Sebastian seems to feel the need to watch over Chloe. I did not really like Chloe though most of this book. I just got a bit tired of her crying all the time although I did understand the tragedy and guilt she was dealing with. I almost felt like I was readying a prequel or novella that was part of the series. Just when I was warming up to the characters the book ended. The story was well written but I was just having a hard time connecting to the characters. I did purchase this book as part of the Beg for Me Bundle to I am interesting to see where the continuation of the world Willow Winters has built takes me.

Cuando leí una parte del prólogo antes de que se estrenara me llamó mucho la atención, pero esperaba mucho más gracias a eso :(
