There was too much happening and not in a good way, the book felt disjointed and like it was attempting to be more substantial than it actually was.
- is this about Ariana and Cash?
- is it about Cash’s mom/family/siblings/father?
- is the book about Ariana and her family/mom specifically?
- is it about her trauma?
- is this about the mafia?
- is it just about their relationship?
It’s totally possible to have a book involving all those points ^^^ and not make those instances/situations essentially their own plot. It was too much and not enough. The smut scenes were great and I think if the author just focused on writing a dark romance novel without trying to shove an underdeveloped but overcooked and over-explained plot down our throat it would’ve worked a lot better. Another thing I dislike is when an author thinks their readers are stupid and doesn’t leave anything to be interpreted or understood… the abuse was over explained and really darkly shoved down our throats to the point that I was more annoyed than sympathetic.

Ariana is over coming a lot of trauma from her life as she gets ready to get married. She goes to a club and gets sold to a man she met once in a club.
Cash buys Ariana to take over her family “business” but mostly because he is infatuated by her. As they are “married” they start to fall for each other and over come the traumas that they both have.
