Tempted Heir by Michelle Heard

4.0

4.5 stars. THIS WAS SOS CUTE AHHHHHHH. I really really really liked Christopher and Dash together. They are so freaking adorable, my heart couldn't take it. I liked the fact that we see Christopher pinning for Dash before they get together. Typically, it's the girl who has a crush on her best friend before they become a couple. But Christopher was so patient and waited five years. Their agreement really made me excited. The fact that Dash got kidnapped and assaulted was heartbreaking. The way she went from a strong, independent woman to needing to be constantly cared for and caressed for is sad. However, I'm not sure if it was my cold heart or the way those four days were described, but I struggled with empathizing with her. I know she was tortured, not given food, being manipulated, and I knew I had to feel bad for her, but I just found myself constantly reminding myself that her trauma is valid. I just wasn't feeling it at that moment, I just found it hard. It could be a me problem, idk. My only complaint is how short the book was. I could've read a few hundred pages more about them tbh. I'm highly thinking of rereading this book, and if that's the case, then I'll bump it up to a five-star rating.
