I picked this book up because of TikTok! I wasn’t expecting much and was somehow still disappointed.
For a dark romance the plot felt clunky and boring. The story centred around Fawn this young abused girl who has had no luck in life, for someone brought up in the system she is still this naive innocent thing that has no clue how the world works, when her foster brother is murdered she hunts down her Mafia father but instead find Clay who is 10 years older than her and instantly becomes obsessed. The spicy scenes felt forced and seemed like they were just used to keep the word count up. It was a poor depiction of an age-gap dark romance.
