Carlton’s style of writing is superior to all of the authors I’ve read, I love how in this book she did not shy away from the ugly sides of both Sawyer and Enzo. Their characters are complex and fucked up which made this book an extremely enjoyable read. I finished this book in one sitting and have read it many times since then. This book is definitely not for the faint of heart, as are all of H. D. Carlton’s romance books. They are dark and deal with topics that may be triggering to some readers. PLEASE FOR FUCKS SAKE READ THE WARNINGS.

A good dark romance that I really enjoyed and read it really fast. Loved the main characters and how they were when they were finally together. Kind of creepy and romantic. Only thing was it was a bit annoying how they kept going back and forth at the start.
