I pushed through to finish this Okay. I like to start with the positives. I loved Mel as a character. She was badass and deviant, strong and sassy. The sex scenes were okay.
The rest of it however, I found myself questioning “what the hell am I reading” quite a lot. I like a lot of dark romances and I love a good Dom/Sub dynamic and even pet play but to me, this wasn’t a good example of those dynamics. It was practically abuse and I did skip through those scenes when I realised what was going on. I won’t be reading any more in this series because the writing style and such just wasn’t for me
