I really liked the plot element to this story, and the focus on people coping and healing from the hurts done to them in different ways. It was a bit cliche, yeah, but it leaned into those bits and used it for characterization. I wasn't a fan of the smut in this one, and there was a lot of it from Very early on. I imagine other people would enjoy it, as it hits on a particular niche (like the book literally calls itself a daddy dom romance) that I know many people enjoy. I guess I'm just not personally into that, and that made it difficult for me to get through spicy scenes. 

Basically, it's exactly what it's advertised to be so if it looks like it's your thing you'll probably enjoy it.

This book was everything! I am officially obsessed 🤩! Give me all the gargoyle daddy books!

🖤Tropes🖤
- daddy Dom/sugar baby relationship 
- Praise K!nk
- Tail play
- Brotherhood bonds

Whatever I say about this book won’t do it justice, it’s just so damn good.  The plot is amazing, the spicy scenes will leave you heavy breathing 😮‍💨 and even the most broody characters are likable. 

I loved Jules personality, and how she 100% was not ashamed of sugar babying and taking what she can get from Titan.

Titans desire to protect and spoil Julianna and his nicknames for her gahhh, obsessed. It helps that almost every thing out of his mouth is pure smex 🫠

Eu estava esperando um livro um pouco mais silly e fluffy, então a nota não tão alta foi realmente culpa minha por não alinhar minhas expectativas com a sinopse

I think my generous rating reveals my kink. 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️ I don't give 5 ⭐ often, which means this clearly did things to me. I'm not 100% proud of those things, but well, here we are. 

The command to remain still is a sort of release, permission to not perform, to not give, to only receive.

This book is something like Pretty Woman meets Beauty and the Beast with a lot of 🌶️. I was practically giggling at the bathtub scene because it reminded me so much of Julia Roberts in PW. Not to mention, Julianna/Julia. It can't be a coincidence. 

Julianna is tiny inside the massive bathtub built to fit a monster...Her head bobs along to music, tiny earbuds, which I assumed were purchased tonight with my card, in her ears.

I really, really appreciated Graves' commentary on sex work and how she didn't write it in a negative or shaming light, and I loved Jules. Our FMC is an independent, strong-willed woman who has been used by people she trusted most, and instead of crumbling under it, she keeps her spirit strong and fights back. 

There was a lot of sex. Yet, somehow, this book manages to also make me care about the plot. I was gripped..if it hadn't been for having to work to make a stupid living, 🎶 I could have read all night, I could have read all night and still have begged [Daddy] for more. I could have spread my...😏 🎶 Nevermind, you get the point.
