This book isn’t for everyone and that’s okay. Please read trigger warnings beforehand because there are some sensitive subjects.
The characters is what got me hooked and the storyline was very well developed. It was like a movie playing in my head. The smut was also good.
Just because I read and enjoyed this book doesn’t mean I agree with the stuff that happens in it.
penelope writes rly good smut but thats all i can rly say.

I enjoy complex characters but these just felt confusing. I didn’t understand much of their motivations at all. The plot was fairly straightforward and kept moving. The spice was good though. I think this is another Penelope Douglas story banking on the taboo and shock to sell the book. There wasn’t anything really earth shattering about the book.
