‘FUCK YEAH!!!’ Is the first thing I did besides hysterically laughing. I love this book.

Scarlett- I love her, I truly do, but damn. I want to slap her for being so damn shy about what she wants. It’s also because I have a different personality than her. When I read about her sexual preferences, I cackled. I freaking cackled. As least she owns up to it. Besides that, I adore the fact that she did grow from her block (no clue who to phrase that). She is a woman that is empowering.

Lukas- This fucking Sweden man. Goddamn. Why is he so hot? The tattoos too. Good lord, I am actually jealous of a man. This is weird. Also I love how he focuses on after care for Scarlett after the roughness. That’s important. Plus the trust, and his brains. (I am actually in love with him.) He is actually one of my favorites because he is caring despite his attitude during spicy time. That is what I’m here for, bitches.(please don’t take offense.)

Overall I’m incredibly pleased with this book. Only reason it’s not a five star from me is because I don’t like the sex scenes. They aren’t bad, I just personally like them. But their relationship is so delicious and….good lord. The writing, mainly the style, I love it. I literally felt like I was Scarlett for a second. And I can tell Ali might struggle with writing first person male perspectives, which I don’t care about because she makes up for it by being so fucking awesome. (not sorry for cursing🤭)
