I'm not sure if it was just me or if I already had my mind set that this was going to be a hard book for me to read. I got lost several times, not knowing if it were a dream, memory or current event taking place. Spice level... definitely a 10... there was so much seggs in it that my lady bits felt it!!!

Spoiler ALERT*****

The fact that in the beginning it seemed the only way Ryat would have sex with Blakely was if she were drugged really bothered me. This book was hyped up so much that I possibly expected more out of it. I will definitely try to read this another time!!!

DID NOT FINISH

I DNFed at 60% through. I absolutely NEVER DNF a book, but I finally decided to give up on this one. Yes, it’s steamy. Yes, Ryat is hot. But there was no plot and while I like dark romance, the forced-sex aspect just wasn’t my thing.
