2.0

2 stars (only because the drama was entertaining and the steamy scenes that weren’t awful) This was…not great. Lord of issues with consent and a very wishy washy hero who was hot in the beginning but then just nope. 

I liked Lara and understood why she would
‘betray’ hunter-not-hunter
and I loved how overprotective over her sister she was

Basically pros: hot, Lara was nice, sisterhood, Johnny, repeatedly beating up an abusive husband, unexpected plot twist
and cons: consent issues, Hunter’s personality changing, took a bit too long to get to the point.
