No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
I think lovers of dark, twisted romance would enjoy this.
One reason I am giving it 3 stars is because the young age (18 y.o.) of the female main character kind of bothers me and is unrealistic to me. I'd prefer the FMC in these types of books to at least be in her 20's. HOWEVER, that is a personal preference and I was able to get past that and enjoy the book.
A large focus of the book is the developing relationships between the characters and a LOT of spicy scenes. They are very graphic and consensual but push the boundaries; so be prepared.
There is some bullying but it isn't the worst I've had to sit through for a book. I really don't care for bullying, again, personal preference. And, again, it didn't stop me from reading the book.
There is an underlying plot that IS interesting, but the intimate scenes really overpowered my focus on the plot. The plot slowly develops and then EXPLODES at the end.
WOW! I mean, WOW! What a great ending! I wasn't sure I wanted to continue the series until I got to the last few chapters of this book. I immediately picked up the next one and it's off to a great, interesting start.
I think A. K. Rose did a great job developing the characters and setting up the plot lines. I am sooo intrigued and I think the subsequent books will be even better than the first.
Spice: 5 chili peppers. read your trigger warnings
Tropes: forced proximity, age gap, why choose, mafia ties, coming of age
