Grayson Ward + Maddison “Maddie” Peters

By the way the book started, I thought this book would feel repetitive but I was wrong. Butterflies were flying at just 12% in. The story progressed so seamlessly to the point where it became a little predictable. Like a dark Hallmark movie (said with love because I’m sucker for those). 

Maddie is a firecracker so I loved how the story kept that alive and focused on the character growth of Grayson. He was a little broken and a lot jaded so I loved seeing him have some self actualization. 

I feel ultimately, this book is just teeing up for the story that’s about to come even more alive in the next book. 

☀️ “Whenever she’s near me, all I want to do is bend her over and fuck her until she shuts up.”

☀️ “She’s right; I am a monster. But I won’t let the darkness steal my sunshine.” 

☀️ “Well it’s a good thing I don’t want a boring prince. I want the villian to fuck me like a whore while telling me he loves me.” 

☀️ “I craved to be worshipped by the Villian for the rest of eternity. Would a prince burn down the world to keep me safe? Or take a bullet for me? No. I needed the darkness to set fire to my soul.”
