”It’s a respectful fear, because our love is almighty and powerful.”
I don’t even know where to begin. I loved this. A lot. It was dark, raw and gritty. Before I delve into the specifics, I absolutely loved the setting of the story. Music has always been a instant intrigue for me, personally I loved the musical aspect of the story. I loved the inclusivity of diverse characters (Stogie has my heart, we all need someone to be in our corner). I loved the writing style, too.
Ivory. The girl is an embodiment of strength. The way she pull through the terrible horrors of life, genuinely has me so in awe. It hurt, in so many ways than one to read the things she endured, the life she lived, the discrimination and abuse. She’s also just as much a kind soul, she loved, for what it was worth. Did I also mention her immaculate sense of humour and sass? Love her.
Emeric. Emeric is honestly someone that would make the world a better place, if the 97% of us women had a partner like Emeric (not necessarily a man, not the point either) the world would be a much better place. He did some really questionable things, (the feminist in me raged) but he did it all to protect Ivory. I also liked how he took things slow with her, spoiled her, loved her and nurtured her.
I loved how BDSM and trauma were discussed. Contrary to popular belief, consensual and safely practiced BDSM goes a long way in one’s process of emotional and mental healing. Now on to the trauma part. It was raw, realistic. My heart goes out to those who suffered through torture how Ivory did. Pam emphasised on rape awareness and consent. And these are important things, extremely important.
The romance part of the story wasn’t dark, it was wholesome and sexy, really. This book is dark, so please check the trigger and content warnings. Overall, I loved this book. It had me crying, laughing and smiling from ear to ear.
