C.B. Alice, I anticipated this book and you had no idea how much. So imagine my surprise reading this and being left disappointed. I want to be giddy for the next book because of that epilogue but I can't. Maybe it's your characters' heads, issues, and your writing being all over the place or maybe it's just me setting the bar too high for this series after I rated the first two books with 5-stars, I'll never know but I won't be down with this series anymore.

The book started out great and I'm still clueless how it went all to shit just before I got to the 50% mark. I understood the kinks, no matter how immoral and bordering dark. What I couldn't figure was how this book turned from dark—or maybe morally grey— erotica to a freakin' soft romance with miscommunication as the third act. I mean, what genre is this, really?? Even the MCs thoughts, reasoning, or whatever the hell they were fighting about was changing multiple times that I swear I had a whiplash. Can you see me rolling my eyes and hear my sarcastic laugh?
