Let me tell you, the first half of this book had me in a CHOKEHOLD. Steele was absolutely obsessed with Liliah in the best, most intense way. His control, his dirty talk, the way he handled every part of his life including her? Ugh. So so good. I LIVE for a man who knows what he wants and goes for it.
Liliah, on the other hand… I liked her, I really did. I appreciated that she didn’t try to challenge Steele in unnecessary ways or act out for drama’s sake. She respected their friendship and boundaries and pushed herself out of her comfort zone, which I admired. BUT… I really wanted more from her emotionally. I either needed her to fight harder for what they had before (friendship) or just throw herself into it this new relationship completely. The hesitation she had felt a bit forced and didn’t fully make sense considering how little internal conflict we saw. It felt like the story told us she was unsure without really showing us why.
Overall this is spicy, fun, bingeable. I just wish there had been a few more real hurdles to overcome and that the author spent more time fleshing out Liliah’s side of things.
