Honestly I don’t think I have enjoyed a book more than this. Seriously. I was so into it. I don’t think there was a moment where I was not on the edge of my seat needing to read more of it. I can’t explain it but holy shit it was a good book.
I really enjoyed this book. It was a true hate to love story. I think everyone trying to say Greyson is a Carter is only hurting the people going into it though. Greyson is unapologetically Greyson. I went in with the expectation of something similar to Carter and it almost turned me off the book when he wasn’t. So I took a day break and went back in without that expectation and I loved it. Greyson had me so frustrated with his terribleness at one point that I went on Amazon to look up those toys you punch and pop back up to see if I could get same day delivery. Very well done author!

I have wanted to read this for a long time, but I have to be in a certain mood to read "bully" romances. I didn't love this book. I liked the characters, the university setting, and the world created within the book felt real. I just don't understand his initial need to ruin her...like dude, her whole life was ruined. And then she forgave everything so easily. They did have great chemistry. The audio narrators were amazing.

This was my first dark romance read. It was on okay book, nothing special really in my opinion. You wouldn’t catch me falling in love with Greyson lol but to each their own.

This was a 3-star at best.
I went into this blind and was hooked instantly. Unfortunately, I don’t like instalust with my enemies to lovers. I wanted to love this book. Greyson the MC did nothing for me. His red flags were just red, nothing redeeming or making me fall for him. I wanted him to suffer and he didn’t. And I just couldn't get over the fact that after everything she was willing to just fall into bed with him.

I also felt it was weird to add the extra stalker and memory loss. This either should have been a bigger plot point or just skipped. It did make for interesting extra conflict but it just seemed to not be that big for 90% of the book (besides the initial break into her room) and then was the big ending.
