Just not very believable story. It was all a bit exaggerated and too much ick happened for me.

Very interesting premise. The “break up” felt too long for me. A few errors here and there.

  • A lot of smut (personally, not a fan of smut since it gets repetitive and boring) 
  • Kidnapped girl finds her family and reunites with her childhood sweetheart. Their chemistry was nice, but the complication was foreshadowed really early. I just didn't connect that much with the book. Their chemistry at the beginning of the book was nice and the plot in general was interesting initially but then I just lost interest.
