Merciless by Willow Winters, W. Winters
3.0
Ok so I’m giving it 3 stars but I still don’t really know how to rate this book.
First I will say I loved the writing style, the pacing, and the overall writing by this author.
My issue with this book is that it’s not a romance. Even my dark romances you get the feeling the hero really likes the heroine, even if he goes about it completely wrong. In this book there is no love connection.
This is complete Stockholm syndrome for the heroine, and the hero literally treats her worse than a dog. I don’t get the real reason he feels like he needs to break her either, and some of the scenes people found hot, I was literally in tears because of how angry I was. I didn’t find this book hot or exciting. I found this story incredibly sad and heartbreaking.
However I really did enjoy the writing style. Willow grabbed my attention from the first page, and I didn’t want to put the book down.
I still don’t know how to feel about this book, or if 3 stars is really an accurate rating, but it’s been 3 days since I’ve read it, and I’m no closer to figuring out my feelings, so I’m going to stick with this rating... maybe it will change if I read the other books in the series.
