This book was incredible. I went into it expecting a carbon copy of fifty shades, awfully written sex scenes and all. But as I started getting into the story, I realized that this isn't that at all. Yes the love interest is filthy rich, and yeah, the relationship first starts out as being kind of problematic, but the fact that he makes her consent such a high priority is so refreshing and amazing that I honestly forgive the kind of thin insta-lovey parts of the story. Also, the sex scenes remind me of the sex scenes in fanfiction which is a huge compliment, because fanfiction authors know how to write erotic scenes...usually. Finding out why he was so concerned about her well-being was something that I was NOT expecting at all. That plotline came way out of left field, in my opinion, and definitely was interesting and I'm sure that the dynamic between them will reflect it, in the other books. The only real drawback I see to this book is that I feel like the side-characters could've been fleshed out a little more. Overall, this is a very satisfying book, and I'm honestly tempted to buy the next book to continue the trilogy. I honestly kind of want to see where the story goes.
