Book 1 I quite enjoyed, this one I felt the 2 main characters had had a personality transplant and were totally different people. A little toxic in parts and rushed towards the end bringing in new characters. A little disappointed sorry

This book was amazing, it kept my emotions all over the place. I will say that the MMC was a-bit extreme with his feelings and how he handled them. The FMC was a bit overwhelmed with all her feelings and losing her independence within the relationship and when she states that she needs space to figure out her feelings and what she wants he refused to give her the space that she needed. It came to the point where she felt that she had to run away to finally get the space she needed to figure out her feelings.
Also, the fact that he bribed the doctor to not give her the birth control so that he can make her pregnant so that it will force her to stay with him. I am not a huge fan of the pregnant trope, and he needs to understand all the FMC wanted was her independence. This was important to her, and he refused to let her go and he wanted to control every aspect of her life.
This is an amazing read and I loved and I really enjoyed the writing style as this was so fast past and I love that it was not a slow burn. I can’t wait to see what else this author has in store.

Huh.
Underwhelming, I think?
I mean I still enjoyed this book, I think it was a light read even though Hayden was quite…aggressive and..a lot. But I still enjoyed it. Callie gave in a little too easily for me but I don’t blame her, she fell in love with a mad man, and in the process, I think she had kinda developed a taste for this mad man of hers. Hayden’s personality was solely..obsessive. Because apart from that, he had nothing else. He breathed and lived for Callie and that’s it. (And while we can all agree that that’s called a no depth, no personality character, I found myself quite literally enjoying his obsession..)
But then the plot. I was expecting a little bit more, to be honest. And I swear I didn’t expect a lot. But it was too easy, too shallow than it was supposed to be, given how serious everything seemed to be. The writer didn’t even bother telling us how Hayden got away with every single illegal shits he had done. I mean I get it, he had money and influence and stuff, but surely, surely he shouldn’t have that much power..right? I mean I know he was smart and stuff but really? Really?
Eh, anyway. I enjoyed it, so

Soooo, I wanted to like this, but it left me wanting more. More plot, romance, heat, just more. I think as a whole both books average to a 3.5 ⭐️ and 2.5
