This book is ridiculous in the best possible way! It's out there and outrageous and if I hear of someone going through anything even remotely close to this I'd drag them to a therapist, but in the confines of this book it works somehow.
Carnal Urges (the title is ridiculous tbh) is about a girl Sloane and her <i>kidnapper</i> of all things, who she falls in love with.
Sounds familiar? Yeah it's basically Stockholm Syndrome: The Book.
The thing about this book that made it work though is how annoyingly cheerful the girl is, especially given her circumstances! I've never seen (or read about) anyone who's so unbothered by being kidnapped by a bunch of mafia dudes! Hell she even ends up having them wrapped around her little finger after on interaction!
Overall this is absolutely ridiculous but the funny kind not the I wanna claw my eyeballs out kind and just for that, if you're looking for a good laugh I highly recommend this, hell I might even read the rest of this series at some point.
