“I don’t see a monster when I look at you, Declan. I don’t.”“What do you see?” “The man I want.”

I really enjoyed reading this book! There was everything from romance, thrill and mystery to some emotional moments. Marley was very smart and I admired her will to never back down. She stood strong by Declan's side and definitely wasn't a damsel in distress, which I liked! Declan was a mystery to me intially but as his story became more clear, I found myself sympathizing with him. He was a victim of circumstances and not some kind of monster he thought he was and deserved every bit of happiness in his life. Declan & Marley were great together and I could feel the chemistry between them right from the first chapter! Overall, this was an entertaining read! The pacing was fast and the plot kept me on the edge of my seat! And some side characters were really interesting. Can't wait to see what the author writes next!

I received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review
