I was surprised with how much I liked this book! This was my first dark romance and the trigger warnings scared me more than they should have because there were a lot of graphic scenes, but definitely not as bad as I thought they would be.

The banter between Rowan and Sloan was so good and I loved how it was written from both their perspectives so the build-up felt more fulfilling because you could see how both of them felt the same way but kept holding back.

Such a fun book and definitely recommend to anyone who isn't afraid of some graphic violence and sex!! I'm excited to dive into the second book soon but I need a bit of a breather after the last 100 pages of this one 😮‍💨
