I picked this book up randomly and was surprised at how much I liked it. I am interested in finishing the other books in the series. Full review to come.

Me encantó este dark romance.
Siento que, además del spicy, tiene una historia mucho más contundente que otros libros del género. Me gustó mucho la personalidad de Nina: si bien tiene un lado sumiso, también es fuerte y tiene su propio proyecto (el arte), lo cual la hace muy interesante. Roman, por su parte, es posesivo y celoso, pero también completamente entregado. En sus propias palabras: “quemaría el mundo por su esposa”.

I am blown away with how much I loved this book. The plot, the characters, the dialogue, hell even the little chihuahua all completely impressed me. There are some darker themes but it’s a morally neutral grey and Roman is SO HOT.
