This book was a thrilling and spicy read, and I enjoyed it just fine, but there were just too many hurdles in the way of bringing it into the “loved it” category.

I honestly didn’t feel a connection to, or likeability for any of the characters. I expected more of a darkness within the relationship itself with how unhinged the MMC was, rather than him obsessively stalking and deciding if he ultimately wanted to kill his subject or not. It also didn't feel “realistic” that the FMC would so easily agree to her blackmail punishment, being a sex slave, to her boss who she was only working for in order to get evidence of him mistreating a former employee. Overall it just fell a little flat for me.
