Conflicting because I did read this fast and was Lowkey excited but it also felt like being on Wattpad reading fanfics! It was fun tho! I wanted something fun and light and this was it! Alex is a menace throughout the entire thing (deregatory)!

2.0

Dieses Buch war nichts für mich… Wer jedoch auf vulgäre Sprache, sexualisierende Personenbeschreibungen, seitenlange Szenen über besitzergreifenden Sex und arrogante, toxisch männliche Hauptcharaktere, die verblendete weibliche Hauptcharaktere schwach werden lassen, steht, ist bei dieser Geschichte genau richtig. Dieser Cringe-Faktor stellte in gewisser Weise aber auch einen Unterhaltungswert dar, weshalb ich das Buch komplett gehört habe. Die Idee und eine Handvoll schön gestalteter, tief gehender Szenen zeugen davon, dass die Autorin auch anders könnte. Schade!

Overall, I liked this! It’s a solid billionaire, brothers best friend trope romance that is great at foreshadowing the next books in the series. 

I appreciated that it was sexy without being full on super spicy smutty. 

A few of the twists were ones I actually didn’t guess and they surprised me in a good way. 

I took away one star because I wish this had been broken into two books. Sometimes the narrative jumps too far ahead and we miss some perspectives for events that I would have liked to have. The author packs A LOT into this novel and it does get a bit sloppy in terms of plot development. 

Overall 4 stars. I enjoyed the hyperbolic cheese and the darkness of our male protagonist, Alex. I enjoyed how multi-faceted Ava is.
