This was honestly so similar to Haunting Adeline, down to the nickname. Wasn't a terrible read tho

I really enjoyed it but the ending was a little bit off a disappointment. Lots of build up to the climax and it wasn’t as great as I thought it would be.

The books pacing is very weird and I didn’t like how the book was written. I thought I would enjoy a prisoner / bad boy X nurse story, but how it was written I struggled to continue. 

The premise to the book, however, sounds amazing and the cover is to die for. That’s what drew me in! 

I would 100% give this book a go, but sadly this book isn’t for me. 

Please check trigger warnings first!

This was a thrilling and fast paced dark romance of escaping both a literal prison as well as a domestic one. I found the writing style to be very sophisticated, which you don’t typically see in this genre; smut is usually just for fun and not categorically “mature”. Some parts of the story felt like a full 5⭐️ read, while others felt like a 3, with a lack of character trait consistency and some questionable logistics, so I settled in the middle!

The first of the book was so good. Really intriguing. Didn't want to put it down
 But it came off the track somewhere down the line, and started to feel rushed and too fake. Shame as the plot itself was well mapped out. I just feel like if it had been longer there would have been more time to explore the character relationships and motives
