"I’d go to war for my wife. One man was nothing."

and go to war they did; just, not the kind he expected.

wtf was this book? why did they build up a good plot only for it to suck so bad in the end? WHY DID SHE KEEP TAKE THE DRUGS WILLINGLY?! why did they take (approximately) 1000 showers?

force sex fantasy and CNC but not one conversation about limits or safe words, GHB fed to her every 5 seconds, fucking next to dead bodies, secret society plotline barely touched, FMC having just about no personality, obsessed ex bf who didn't want her when they were together but now wants her because his enemy has her, random elopement so she doesnt have to be forced into marriage to said ex bf. it just keeps going.

I love dark romances, especially CNC/FSF but this wasn't it. this book didn't need to be 600 pages.

Don’t get me wrong, this book and the world it sets up is TOXIC, but I was completely caught in a trance and wanting more! If you think about this book in the realm of reality then you will likely be too distracted by the misogyny, entitlement, violence, and overall red flags of our MMC, and respective red flags of the FMC for being so attracted to it all, but if you can separate it then you might just find yourself having some fun. One of those “it couldn't be me,” but a thrill ride to read.

This book was pure smut. There wasn’t really a plot it was just telling a story.

I guess I do like Ryat he can be hot because he’s so protective but sometimes the things he says like her being his slut is not it. I loved how the story was fast paced it helped me continue and it didn’t make me bored. I guess the whole system of being a lord was somewhat good since it showed them values and everything but the fact that they lied too much to Blake was really inconsiderate. Matt was desperate for Blake’s pussy but when she was begging him to fuck her he wouldn’t do shit and I’m glad that because of that they slashed his balls. I love that Ryat actually cared about her and although he might seem tough he was open to listen to her crazy ideas. I didn’t like how there wasn’t a plot like the story was cute but it was more let’s see what happens next. I didn’t really like Blake’s mom and the fact that she had so much power is crazy she was very controlling of Blake’s life and it ended up being what she wanted but I hope they ended in good terms. I actually cried when I thought Ryat was dead because she said he was turning pale and it also sounded like he was saying a goodbye so I didn’t like that. I liked how everything turned out but the boy they had in which he said that he wouldn’t leave pussy for 4 years made me disgusted because it made it sound as if we were an object.

a dark romance masterpiece! i really enjoyed reading this one although i was actually expecting it to be a bit darker than it actually was because of all the reviews i read and heard about on bookstagram. i mean, don't get me wrong, it was really dark and there were lots of quite morally questionable scenes, but it still didn't get me totally freaked out if you know what i mean? i fell for ryat the second he appeared (don't we all love the broody, morally-grey dark-haired guys?!) and i found blake to be a quite nice fmc, too. nonetheless, she sometimes seemed a bit too..idk eager?? to be degraded and all that and it didn't make her seem like a very confident fmc. however, she got some real nice badass properties and some real bite, which i enjoyed pretty much. some twists and turns felt a bit overdramatic and didn't make that much sense to me as to why they were incorporated in the story. and i am not the biggest fan of all the

knocking the fmc up, breeding kink, loads of kids kinda stuff

to have a happy ending. still, it was a great book and as a sucker for dark romance i highly recommend reading it! i am also looking forward to "the sinner" as the fanart of sin is already making me drool lol.
