The plot is thickening. Appreciating the criminology of it, as well as the complexities it brings to the relationship. I'm glad it's not just torturing bad guys or 'a hot guy and girl who have lots of sex because they find each other hot.' However, I'm still finding the relationship a bit possessive and lacking in substance outside of wanting to protect one another and finding each other attractive. I hope there's opportunity for them to actually know each other a bit more, and it looks like it's opening up that possibility.
Good cliffhanger.

I’m making this review waaaay to long after I finished this series BUT the main reason why I recommend this is the fact that when you’re reading it you feel like you’re reading one book and not 5, and even now I genuinely cannot tell you when one book ended and when another started and I swear that I remember the whole story (not word for word obviously). The only thing that i didn’t completely like was the ending *******SPOILER****** I feel like the guy was forgiven waaayyy too quickly, like there wasn’t almost any groveling from him and that frustrated me *********END OF SPOILER******** but aside from that everything else was great. I’m gonna copy and put this review in every book from this series :)
