This is a re-read of mine and I definitely enjoyed the story a bit less than the first time I read it. But to be honest I may just be in my contemporary romance era and have left the dark romance era that had a hold over me. At some points while listening to it I just wanted to strangle Blakely for asking so many questions all the damn time and being extremely upset over the fact that Ryat couldn't give her any details about the SECRET society he was apart of... Like girly pop get it together, you should understand this by now. Still love Ryat Archer forever though.

the porn is well written but the plot is weak and the characters are shallow as hell. there's also a metric shit ton of misogyny abd i dont even consider myself particularly crazy feminist.
